Calibration

Machine Calibration

1.

Enter the MACHINE CALIBRATION mode.

2.

Enter the D dimension (include decimal point,

example: 16.0 for a 16-inch wheel). Press ENTER.

3.

Lower the hood and press SPIN.

4.

After spin, raise the hood. Attach 4-ounce calibra-

tion weight to the outside flange at top-dead-center.

Center

5.

Lower the hood and press SPIN

Important:

 It is critical that the inner weight be placed

accurately to achieve proper calibration. If the calibration 

weight is not moved from the outside flange directly 

across to the inside flange, an inner weight placement 

error will occur. To correct, follow the balancer instruc-

tions.

6.

After spin, raise the hood. Move the 4-ounce cali-

bration weight directly across and attach it on the inside 

flange at top-dead-center (12 o’clock position).

Inside Flange

7.

Lower the hood and press SPIN.

Note:

 Rotate laser dot toward inner flange.

8.

After spin, raise the hood. Rotate wheel to line up/

center of 4-ounce calibration weight with laser dot. Hold 

position while pressing NEXT.

9.

Press NEXT; then press EXIT.

Note:

 On control panel models complete the machine

calibration procedure. Then press and hold the SHIFT 

key and press 3 to access the CAL ARM mode.

10.

Bring the cone edge of the arm precisely to the

outer edge of the faceplate and hold it there (through 

step 12) while pressing the NEXT. (If necessary to reach 

the faceplate accurately, loosen the calibration wheel 

temporarily.)

11.

With arm cone still at the edge of the faceplate,

enter the A dimension (include decimal point) read off 

the arm gauge; see figure 41. Press ENTER.

Enter A

12.

Move arm to its home position and press NEXT.

13.

Move arm to clip-on weight location on rim

flange and hold it there (through step 16). Wait for volt-

age reading to stabilize, then press NEXT.

14.

With arm still at clip-on weight location, enter

the D dimension (16.0 for a 16-inch wheel) that is the 

diameter of the tire. Press NEXT.

15.

While still holding the arm at the wheel’s clip-on

weight location, enter the A dimension (include decimal 

point) read off the arm gauge. Press ENTER

16.

Return the arm to home position; calibration is

complete. Press EXIT. Press STOP & EXIT to go back to 

the main screen.
