5 Use of the wheel balancer
5.1
PRESETTING OF WHEEL DIMENSIONS
The balancing data is set by means of an “intelligent”
automatic gauge; confirmation of the measurement and
the position appear on the display. Each time the gauge
is pulled out, the rim interior light comes on (if enabled) to
illuminate the inside of the rim so that it is easier to select
the correction planes.
5.1.1 Automatic standard setting
Using the special grip, move the gauge against the rim
as shown in the figure:
While the gauge is moving the following appears:
Hold the gauge in position for at least 2 seconds.
If the acoustic signal is enabled (
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL
),
the acquisition of the dimensions is accompanied by a “beep”.

Use of the wheel balancer
Set the distance and diameter gauge to the rest position.
The balancing machine automatically interprets the pre-
sence of a rim with clip-on weight correction:
For a different combination of the type or position of the
weights on the rim, press the buttons near the rim symbol
(
CORRECTION MODES
).
5.1.1.1 Automatic width (option)
At the end of the automatic measurement of the distance
and diameter the following appears:
For large wheels (e.g. off-road vehicles, light trucks or
wheels protruding far out from the rim) press the
button to switch from:
N.T. = NORMAL TYRE
L.T. = LIGHT TRUCK
5.1.2 ALU wheel automatic presetting
Make two consecutive measurements within the rim on
two correction planes inside the same.
When the acoustic signal is enabled (
ACOUSTIC SI-
GNAL
), the acquisition of the dimensions is accompanied
by a “beep”. Set the distance and diameter gauge to the
rest position.
The balancing machine automatically interprets the pre-
sence of a rim with adhesive weight correction:
