Static Balancing - SICE S 63 Manual De Instrucciones

WARNING: Pressing the mechanical brake
pedal (9, Fig. 7) blocks wheel rotation,
making it easier to apply the counter-
weight in the correct position on the rim.
- Repeat the operations listed above for
the second side of the wheel.
- Perform a test wheel spin to check the
balancing accuracy.If it is not satisfactory,
modify the value and position of the
weights previously applied.
Bear in mind that a counterweight position-
ing error of just a few degrees may lead to
a residual unbalance as large as 5-10 grams
during the verification phase, especially in
the case of large unbalances.
WARNING
Check that the system which fits the weight
to the rim is in optimum condition.
A weight which is not fitted properly
or correctly may come off as the wheel
rotates, thus creating a potential danger.
If the key is pressed while the
wheel is rotating, the spin will be prema-
turely interrupted.

Static balancing

A wheel can be balanced using a single
counterweight 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.
- Press the

programme illuminates;
- Press the button to confirm selection;
- Set the wheel diameter value (in static

- Spin the wheel by lowering the guard;
- Wait for the wheel to stop automatically
- Rotate the wheel until the central element

Self-adhesive weights are generally used
to balance alloy wheels and are applied
differently than for standard balancing
(Fig. 12).

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;
