SELF-CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Before performing the self-calibration procedure,
make sure the balancer is bolted down and/or rigid to the
floor and that the shaft and centering cones are clean and
undamaged. Even the slightest dirt or damage can cause
inaccurate readings. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the
following procedure. If not followed correctly, the balancer
will not perform accurately. This balancer
should be checked every 30 days.
1. Turn on the power. The display will show USA 511.
2. Select a centering / mounting cone that best fits the
center hole of the wheel.
NOTE:
A standard 14” steel wheel and tire with minimal wear or
damage to either is recommended for this procedure.
3. Lift the wheel onto the arbor and slide it back against the
arbor hub.
4. Slide the cone over the arbor and into the center hole of
the wheel. It will be necessary to lift the wheel slightly.
5. While holding the wheel and cone in position, thread the
Quick-Nut over the arbor and secure tightly.
5. Enter the correct wheel data. (Refer to page 12.)
7. Press and hold the “R” and “START” button until the
Weight Indicator lights stop flashing. The screen will then
display “CAL CAL”
8. Close the hood and/or press START to begin the
calibration.
9. The wheel will spin for approximately 6 seconds then
stop. “Add 100” will be displayed if Grams is selected or
“ADD 3.50” if OZ is selected.
10. Place one 100 gram weight (included with balancer) on
the outer edge of the rim.
11. Close the hood and press the START button. The wheel
will spin for approximately 6 seconds and “END Cal” will be
displayed.
NOTE:
It is a good idea to keep the known good “calibration tire”
set up for the monthly calibration procedure.
