Mounting Spring.
Secures the Wheel when using rear and dual-cone mounting.
Inner and Outer Calibration Weights.

Terms to Know
Wheel.
A circular metal piece that attaches to an axle and turns.
Tire.
A circular rubber piece that surrounds and attaches to a Wheel; more specifically, to the Rim, the part of
the Wheel that directly touches the Tire.
Rim.
The part of a Wheel that directly attaches to a Tire; almost always the outer portion of the Wheel.
Because modern Wheels are frequently created from a single piece of metal, “Wheel” and “Rim” are
sometimes used interchangeably.
Imbalance.
An unbalanced weight distribution in a Wheel; it can cause vibration. To correct an imbalance, a
weight must be applied
opposite
the imbalance.
Planes.
When a Wheel is figuratively divided down the middle into two sections, it creates two planes; called
Inner and Outer. Balancing is more effective when planes are analyzed for imbalance separately (and
addressed separately), called Dynamic Balancing.
Clip-On Weights.
Metal weights that are held in place on the Wheel by clipping them to the Inner or Outer
Edge. Older Clip-On Weights made of lead should not be used as they are a hazard to the environment; they
are also illegal to use in many countries and some states in the U.S. The Clip-On Weights that come with the
Balancer are not made of lead.
Adhesive Weights.
Weights that are flat and held in place with adhesive; they get placed on the Inner,
Outer, or Center Plane. Adhesive Weights come in both black and gray, making them harder to see and thus
not interfering with the attractiveness of the Vehicle’s Wheels/Rims.
Placement Indicators.
Light up when the best weight location is reached.
Balancing Modes.
The Balancer supports Dynamic, Aluminum, and Static Balancing.
Dynamic Balancing.
Balancing a steel Wheel where each of the two planes are analyzed separately. If
there is an imbalance, the two planes are brought back into balance separately. Dynamic Balancing is a more
recent technology than Static Balancing and generally produces a better balance.
Static Balancing.
Balancing a Wheel as a whole; that is, on a single plane only. This is an older method of
balancing and is generally not as effective as Dynamic Balancing. Static Balancing is required for motorcycle
Wheels and older Wheels that are 4 inches wide or less; also used if only Adhesive Weights can be attached
on the Center Plane of the Wheel.
Aluminum Alloy Balancing.
Balancing Wheels made of aluminum alloy. The Weights are placed differently
on these Wheels, so you need to know where you want to put the Weights and select the appropriate ALU
Mode. ALU Modes generally use Adhesive Weights, which are less visible than Clip-On Weights.
