width = 9.0", diameter = 22.5", distance = 36 mm.
- preset geometric values for passenger vehicle wheels (CAR environment):
width = 5.5", diameter = 14", distance = 200 mm.
Now the operator can set the data of the wheel to be balanced or select one of the pro-
grammes available.
BALANCING PROGRAMME SELECTION
Before starting a balancing operation, the following steps must be followed:
- fit the wheel on the hub using the most suitable flange;
- lock the wheel so that no movement is possible during the wheel spin and braking phases;
- remove any counterweight, pebble, dirt or other foreign body;
- set the wheel's geometric data correctly.
At start-up, by default, the wheel balancer executes the dynamic programme (dyn) which
uses clip weights on both sides.
The various balancing programmes can be recalled by simply selecting the keys
that represent the type of weight according to the rim and professional experience,
both for the inner side as well as for the outer side.
The following balancing programmes are available:
