5.0 CORRECTION OF THE IMBALANCE
The following weight types and application methods
are available:
•
Clip-on weights: Always apply by hand.
•
Stick-on weights: Can be applied by hand or us-
ing the SAPE head for the Alu 2P, Alu 3P or easy
weight mode.
Hand applied weights MUST be applied exactly perpen-
dicular to the shaft (12 o'clock position). After Spinning
the wheel look at the rotation indicators for the left plane
of the wheel, Figure 27-A. As the correct Wheel Angle
Position (WAP) gets closer more indicators light up.
When all the indicators are ON, the WAP indicator will
also light up, Figure 27-B. Follow same procedure for
placing weight in the right plane.
Note: When the correct angle is reached, all the rota-
tion indicators should be ON. If the wheel has been
pushed too far, only the indicators of the other half will
come ON. If this happens, the wheel must be slowly
turned in the opposite direction until the WAP position
is reached. The weight amount to be applied in that
plane is shown on the display.
Attaching a clip-on weight.
Refer to Figure 28. Clip-on weights must always be
applied in the 12 o'clock position. The lip should rest
on the rim edge. Use the weight pliers to position it. In
STATIC mode only the left hand display is used.
Attaching a stick-on weight.
ALU or STATIC weight modes only:
Refer to Figure 28a. Apply the weight on the rim in the
12 o'clock position, always by hand.
Note: With STATIC weight modes, always apply the
weight at the rim center line. If not possible, split the
weights evenly and apply on another surface of the rim
(symmetrical to the rim center line).
