4.3 MODE SELECTION
The majority of balancing takes place in the default
2-plane dynamic mode which is displayed as "2 PL"
(location 1). Hammer-on clip weights will be placed
on both inside and outside of the rim edge. If required,
select an optional weight placement mode by pressing
the Mode button until the appropriate placement mode
is displayed.
4.3.1 WEIGHT PLACEMENT MODES
Before Spinning the wheel (although it may be done
afterwards) choose the appropriate balancing mode
for the wheel. To select the various placement modes
press the (9) Weight Placement button (Figure 14)
until placement LEDs (Figure 14a) indicate desired
placement positions.

A. DYNAMIC (two planes), suggested for all steel rims.
In this case the wheel weights must be clipped onto the
rim edges. This function is selected as a default and
the LEDs corresponding to the wheel weight location
are lit on Figure 15.

B. STATIC (single plane - Figure 16). Suggested for
narrow rims (3" or less). Use a single corrective weight
placed in the center of rim as illustrated in Figure 16.
Figure 16
With purely static imbalance the center of gravity and
thus the principal axis of inertia of the wheel is not on
the axis of rotation.

Due to the unbalanced mass the wheel has a heavy
and light side related to the axis of rotation.
Static imbalance is compensated far by fi tting counter-
balance weights to the light side of the wheel, either in
the center or on the sides of the rim.
To select the STATIC Mode:
