5.0 ALU 2P AND 3P WEIGHT MODES BY
GAUGE ARM
In case operator prefere to apply weights with the gauge
arm, we suggest to get in contact with the Technical
Support to set machine for that feature.

The gauge arm is used to determine the desired weight
location. When Alu 2P or Alu 3P is selected, the Easy
Alu LEDs (Figure 28a-C) are lit.
Extend the gauge to the inner position and wait a few
seconds for the placement to register, the placement
LED will fl ash during this time. See fi gure 28a-D.
Extend the gauge arm to the outer position and wait
for the signal before to return the arm to home. Lower
the hood to spin the assembly.
Use the gauge arm to position the corrective weights
as indicated by the display. Rotate the wheel until all
position LEDs are lit (Figure 28a-A). If correcting the
left plane, the right amount window will display a series
of dashes while searching for the placement location.
While moving the arm, a beep indicates when the
correct application position has been reached. The
weight amount will then be displayed and fl ash and
the WAP indicator will lite up (Figure 28a-B). Press the
foot pedal to hold the wheel in this position. Apply the
weight to the correct point on the rim.

NOTE: Clean the area where the weight will be placed
before attaching the adhesive weights. In compliance
with the imbalance detected, approach at the gauge
head the suitable adhesive weight.(1, Figure 28b).
Remove the protective tape (2) from the stick-on weight
and apply it to the correct point on the rim.
Split Weight Mode or sometimes called Spoke Mode
can be invoked if desired. See chapter 6.0.
NOTE: Either left or right plane can be corrected fi rst.
Rotate the wheel to the next position, put the stick-on
weight on the gauge arm and apply the weight for the
remaining position. After applying the balance weights
perform a Check Spin.
It is good practice to perform a check spin after applying
the weights. Spin the wheel. Having fi nished the Run,
if the wheel is balanced correctly, both the numerical
indicators should indicate 000. To check how much
imbalance is left: Select the FINE key. The operator
should decide if applying additional weight is required.
Results recalculation. After Spinning a wheel it is possible
to enter new rim data or select another weight mode.
The results are recalculated automatically. Selecting
another weight mode such as between NORMAL, ALU
and STATIC no additional steps required either.
