and it becomes obvious that the balancing weight
will have to be applied in line with a spoke,
proceed as follows:
- Remain in the centred position.
- Select the
(displayed instead of the "select ALU pro-
grammes" icon).
-
Select the spoke dimension on the displayed
window using the keypad: small, medium,
large or OFF (selection deactivated).
- Confirm by pressing the Kis knob or the
ENTER button.
- Apply two new counterweights in the posi-

The weight division operations can be performed
on both balancing sides.

Static balancing

A wheel can be balanced using a single coun-
terweight on one of its two sides or in the
centre of the well. in this case, the wheel is
balanced statically. However, there is still the
risk of dynamic unbalance, which becomes more
significant as the width of the wheel increases.
Proceed as follows to balance motorcycle or car
wheels statically:
- Correctly set the wheel's geometric data as de-
scribed for the Dynamic balancing programme.
- Perform a spin.
- at the end of the spin, select the balancing
programme icon
knob or the ENTER button
the required programme is selected.
The displayed image now shows only one pos-
ition search.
- Apply the balancing weight in the 12 o'clock
position on either the outer or inner side, or
at the centre of the rim well, indifferently. If
applied in the well, the weight is applied on a
diameter smaller than the rated diameter of
the rim. A value of 2 or 3 inches less than the
rated value must therefore be entered when
the diameter is set in order to obtain correct

results.
Best results can be achieved if the weight is
divided into two parts to be applied on the two
sides of the rim.
