When switched on, the machine displays its software version for a few seconds. After this the displays read 0 0. Figure 6 (1) Mount the tire and wheel to be balanced on the spindle using the correct centering cone and adapters and tighten with the Kwik-Nut. To balance a wheel the following data must be entered: a) Select wheel type and balancing program, which is correct for the type of wheel and where the placement of weight will be made. b) Set the wheel measurements: 1. Nominal width 2. Nominal diameter 3. Set the distance from the machine to the internal side of the wheel. For more in-depth instructions on entering wheel data, refer to the paragraph on “Setting the Wheel Data.” Close the hood to begin the wheel balancing cycle. When the balancing cycle is completed, the machine will automatically brake to a stop. The amount and position of the imbalance is measured and then shown in the left and right displays. The luminous arrows will indicate the direction in which the wheel must be turned to reach the correct position for balance correction. There are separate indicators for the inside and outside position. When the green center LED is illuminated, it indicates the correct position where the weights are to be attached (twelve o’clock). Attach the correct amount of weight and in the position as indicated by the LED’s (inside and outside planes). Close the hood and run a balance cycle to check that the correction is completed. The display will now read 000. Kwik-Way Products Inc. 500 57th Street, Marion, IA 52302 USA Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved 11. Equipment specifications, options and accessories subject to change without notice. 800-553-5953 150/250 Wheel Balancer SELECTING BALANCING PROGRAM The use of different types of counterweights for balancing different types of wheels (in steel or light alloy) results in variations in the nominal measurements set for the wheel to be balanced and the actual measurements of the correction planes. The wheel balancer offers a variety of balancing programs in order to accommodate these differences. The operator must set the operating mode required on the basis of the type of wheel being balanced, the type of counterweights to be used, and the selected correction planes. Pressing the MODE button Figure 6 (8) scrolls through all the balancing programs available: Standard dynamic balancing with clip weights (with spring). 5 ALU programs for dynamic balancing with adhesive weights. 3 static balancing programs (with spring or adhesive weights). 2 special ALU programs for balancing PAX Michelin tires with adhesive weights and measurements in mm. The LED’s on the control panel indicate the position of weights on the rim on the basis of the selected balancing program. When the machine is switched on it automatically configures itself for the standard dynamic program.

Equipment specifications, options and accessories subject to change without notice. 800-553-5953 150/250 Wheel Balancer SETTING WHEEL DATA Setting with the Automatic Gauge Testing is achieved by moving the internal gauge (Figure 7) and external gauge (Figure 8) against the rim. Wait for the confirmation “beep”. The figures to set (distance, width, and diameter) are entered automatically. It is a single, quick, error-free operation. NOTE: If the automatic gauges malfunction (and for the “aluminum” and “light alloy” programs) manual programming is possible (see following section). Figure 7 Figure 8 Kwik-Way Products Inc. 500 57th Street, Marion, IA 52302 USA Copyright 2005 All Rights Reserved 13. Equipment specifications, options and accessories subject to change without notice. 800-553-5953 150/250 Wheel Balancer SETTING WHEEL DATA (continued) Manual Setting of Wheel Data On the front panel use the +/- buttons to set the figures for width (Figure 6 (6), diameter (Figure 6 (5) and distance (Figure 6 (4), for the wheel being balanced. The rim width figures are generally given on the rim itself, otherwise it can be measured using the gauge supplied with the machine. Figure 9 The rim diameter is generally given on the rim itself, or can be read from the tire. The rim distance is measured on the internal side of the rim with the cursor gauge fitted on the machine (Figure 10). The distance to be set can be read from the scale. NOTE: For wheels of small dimensions (for example motorcycle wheels) only the static imbalance has to be established. In these cases the STATIC balancing program is used and the correct figures only have to be set for the rim diameter Figure 6 (5). The rim distance and width can be set to any figures. Figure 9 Figure 10 Entering Measurements in mm The default unit of measurement for rim width and diameter is inches. In order to set wheel measurements in mm press the MM/INCH button and enter the figures in mm as they appear on the wheel. The LED lights up to indicate that the figures are set to mm. Distance is always set in mm (LED on). NOTE: For PAX programs the default unit of measurement of rim width and diameter is mm.

When the most suitable balancing program has been selected, press the OK or STOP button to return to the main page. Setting Wheel Data When the inside gauge is extracted from its rest position the LED for the selected position starts flashing on the control panel. Position the gauge in the first position selected for balancing, keep it still and lift the pedal up to confirm the position. The corresponding panel LED flashes for the selected position. If the pedal is not enabled wait for the confirmation “beep”. Next, locate the gauge at the second position selected for balancing, keep it still and lift the pedal up to confirm the position. The corresponding panel LED flashes for the selected position. If the pedal is not enabled wait for the confirmation “beep”. Finally, moving the gauge back to the rest position returns automatically to the main page. Wheel Balancing Close the guard cover and press the START button to begin a measuring cycle. When the readings have been established the wheel will automatically brake until it stops. The scale and position of imbalance on the two sides of the wheel are established in a single measuring cycle and are shown separately on the displays. The arrows indicate the direction the wheel must be turned for the positioning at the point of imbalance (separate indications for the two sides of the wheel). Turn the wheel manually until the imbalance point LED lights up. Figure 6 (1). If the sound signal is enabled it also indicates when the correct position is reached. Insert the required adhesive weight into the relevant seat on the measuring probe with the adhesive part facing up. Remove the protective film, extract the probe towards the balancing position. The arm is automatically stopped when the correct position is reached. Rotate the gauge to bring the weight into contact with the rim and press the extruder to fit the weight.. During this stage the LED relative to the selected position for the application of the weight will flash on the panel and the display shows the position of the arm in relation to the selected balancing planes. When the correct balancing position is reached the displays show a symbol corresponding to the conditions: The wheel is in the correct angular position for balancing. The arm is positioned on the corresponding balancing plane. In these conditions the arm is automatically locked in the correct position and the weight can be fitted.

To select either ALU 2 or ALU 3, press the Program Selection Key (Figure 6 (8) until the LED combination for the program you wish to use is illuminated on the wheel diagram (center of the display panel). Figure 14. Figure 14 NOTE: Be sure that the PAX LED is NOT illuminated when selection is made. Once the ALU 2 or ALU 3 program is selected, proceed as follows: Establish the Weight Placement Locations: Move the inside data arm slowly toward the inside flange of the wheel. The inside LED on the wheel diagram will begin to flash, continue to move the arm until it is in the correct position for the weight placement. Lift up on the brake pedal, the LED will stop flashing and become solid, the inside position is set. The outside LED will now begin flashing, continue to move the internal data arm inward into the wheel until the arm is in the correct position for the outside weight placement. Lift up on the brake pedal, the LED will stop flashing and become solid. The outside position is set. Close the hood and run a cycle. Balancing Procedure: Once the cycle is complete, rotate the tire and wheel, watching the left direction indicators (Figure 6(2), continue until the center green LED (Figure 6(3) is lit. The left display will give the correction weight required for this placement. If in ALU 2 Mode: Slowly move the internal distance arm until the left LED on the wheel diagram flashes, the arm will stop automatically. Attach the weight. If in the ALU 3 Mode: Simply place clip-on weight at the twelve o’clock position. Press the split weight key (Figure 6 (13); the right display indicates the number of spokes from the last balance sequence. If this number is incorrect, use the +- key (Figure 6 (10) to enter the correct number of spokes. Rotate the tire and wheel so as to have a spoke at the twelve o’clock position. Press the split weight key again and one of the LED’s on the key will become illuminated. Rotate the tire and wheel until the right directional indicator green LED is lit. The right display (Figure 6 (1) will give the correction weight required, move the internal arm in until it locks, and apply the first weight at this position. Rotate the tire and wheel until the opposite LED on the split weight key becomes illuminated. Continue to rotate the tire and wheel until the right directional indicator green LED (Figure 6 (3) is lit. The right display (Figure 6 (1) will give the correction weight required, move the internal arm in until it locks, and apply the second weight at this point. Close the hood and run a cycle. If tire requires additional weight, repeat the procedure from spoke at the twelve o’clock position forward.

Equipment specifications, options and accessories subject to change without notice. 800-553-5953 150/250 Wheel Balancer OPTIMIZING IMBALANCE When the imbalance measured on a wheel is very high (e.g., static imbalance > 1.75 ounces) the imbalance optimization procedure is recommended. This program allows the reduction of the total imbalance of the wheel by compensating, when possible, the static imbalance of the tire with that of the rim. The following operations are required: an initial measuring cycle, rotation the tire on the rim by 180°, a second measuring cycle, another rotation of the tire on the rim to the extent indicated by the machine, and a final check measuring cycle. To activate the static imbalance reduction procedure press the OPTIMIZATION button (Figure 6 (12) and release it immediately: the display reads oPt1. Stage 1: Press the START button to run the first cycle with the wheel to be optimized: at the end of the cycle the display reads oPt2. Stage 2: Rotate the wheel by hand to bring the valve to the twelve o’clock position. Press the SPLIT key (which has both LED’s on) to memorize the wheel reference position for the first run. The display reads oPt3. Mark a reference point on the tire itself at the valve position. Stage 3: Remove the rim from the adapter and rotate the tire on the rim by 180° (refer to the mark made on the tire, moving it to a position directly opposite the valve). Remount the rim on the adapter and once more reposition the valve at 12 o’clock. Keeping the wheel in this position, press the SPLIT key (which has both LED’s on) to memorize the new position of the rim on the adapter. The display reads oPt 4. Stage 4: Press the START button to run a new cycle. At the end of the cycle the display reads oPt5. IMPORTANT: For best imbalance reduction results it is important that the operations described above are carried out with the maximum precision. Pressing the STOP button at the end of the second cycle displays the following information: Right display: current static imbalance reading for the wheel. Left display: minimal residual imbalance that can be achieved by applying the recommended imbalance reduction. Displaying these figures is useful for deciding if it is worth continuing the imbalance reduction procedure (for the same reason, also after the first cycle the STOP button can be pressed to view the static imbalance on the right display and thus check if it is effectively worth following the reduction procedure). Stage 5: To proceed with reduction of imbalance, rotate the wheel by hand to bring the positioning LED’s on the display into a central position and mark the tire at the top (the same position the weight is normally located). To reduce imbalance remove the rim from the adapter and rotate the tire on the rim until the new mark is at the valve position. Remount the rim on the adapter and again position the valve at twelve o’clock. Keeping the wheel in this position press the SPLIT key (with both LED’s on) to memorize the new position of the rim on the adapter. The display reads oPt 6.

Equipment specifications, options and accessories subject to change without notice. 800-553-5953 150/250 Wheel Balancer OPTIMIZING IMBALANCE (continued) Stage 6: Press the START key to run a test cycle. At the end of the test cycle the wheel imbalance is automatically compared with the minimum residual imbalance figure. If the difference between these two values is less that the maximum permitted tolerance, the display reads oPt yES. By pressing the STOP button it is in any case possible to display the new static imbalance figure in order to verify the success of the procedure. Stage 7: If the first imbalance reduction cycle has not been satisfactory, the display again reads oPt 5. In this case it is possible to continue imbalance reduction by repeating the steps described above, starting from Stage 5. When it is not possible to further reduce imbalance the procedure terminates: If the procedure was completed with success the display reads oPt yES. If the procedure was unsuccessful the display reads oPt Err indicating that it is necessary to repeat the entire procedure from the beginning. At the end of optimization operations press the STOP button to return to wheel imbalance measuring and the display shows the imbalance for the current wheel. Pressing the OPTIMIZATION button at any time interrupts the imbalance reduction procedure and the system reverts to wheel imbalance measuring mode.

NOTE: To save changes in the parameters, you must press the OK/MENU button. If the STOP button is pressed before confirming the new setting, or if the unit is switched off, the machine will revert back to its previous settings. BASIC MACHINE CALIBRATION Press and hold down the MENU button. As soon as the left display reads CAL immediately release the button and press (within 1.5 sec) the MM/INCH button. The left display reads C-1. NOTE: Use of the MENU button now permits you to scroll through the various calibration menus and choose the one for shaft imbalance calibration (C-1), wheel balancer self-calibration (C-2), or calibration of the automatic gauges (D-1). To exit a menu at any time press STOP. First Stage of Calibration: Shaft Imbalance Correction: Have the bell flange attached to the spindle, but without adapters or tire and wheel. Run a balancing cycle. At the end of the run the measured imbalance is saved. This allows any residual imbalance in the machine’s shaft to be compensated electronically. The left display now reads C-2. Second Stage of Calibration: Wheel Balancer Self-Calibration: Install a 5.5” or 6.0” wide, 13” or 14” diameter tire and steel wheel assembly onto the spindle and tighten into place using the correct centering cone and adapters. Carefully set the tire and wheel dimensions using the corresponding pairs of buttons Figure 6 (4,5,6,10). (Manually enter data.) Run a balancing cycle. C-3 will appear on the left display, 100 or 3.50 on the right. Using the 100g (3.5 ounces) calibration weight provided, attach it to the inside wheel flange. NOTE: The 100 or 3.50 is a calibration default setting, if any other value of weight is to be used during calibration, using the buttons +/- move the value up or down in the right display until it shows the corrected value of the weight to be used.

Equipment specifications, options and accessories subject to change without notice. 800-553-5953 150/250 Wheel Balancer BASIC MACHINE CALIBRATION (continued) Run a balancing cycle. At the end of the run C-4 will appear on the left display and 100 or 3.50 on the right. Rotate the tire and wheel until the weight is at the 12:00 o’clock position, then remove and reattach the weight to outside flange exactly at the 12:00 o’clock position. Run a balancing cycle. C-5 will appear in the left display and the calibration angle in the right, rotate the tire and wheel until the wheel weight is exactly in the 6:00 o’clock position. While holding the wheel in this position, press the Split weight button. Figure 6 (13). The calibration settings are automatically and permanently saved. Two test procedures are necessary to ensure that wheel balancing is conducted accurately. Balancing Accuracy Test: Balance the two sides of a wheel according to the instructions. Artificially create an imbalance by fitting a weight of 50 grams (1.75 ounces) on one side of the wheel. The machine should identify this imbalance precisely, both for weight and position. A reading up to a maximum of 5 g (.25 ounce) is possible for the other side. In order to check the position of the imbalance, turn the wheel to the balancing position as indicated by the arrows on the monitor. In this position the test weight should be vertically below the rotation axle (6 o’clock). If there is an obvious angular error the indicators have to be rectified. If there is an unacceptably big weight error on the side with the test weight, or an excessive figure for the opposite side of the wheel, the machine has to be recalibrated. Centering Precision (Balancing Quality): The wheel balanced in the previous test can be used. Remove the test weight. Release the wheel from the adapter and retighten it, but rotated by about 35°. In a test cycle the imbalance must not exceed a maximum of 10 g (.5 ounce) on each side, 15 g (.75 ounce) in the case of particularly heavy wheels. This error is due to the rim centering tolerance. Precise centering is essential both for this test and during normal balancing operations. If this test run produces a high imbalance reading check the parts used for centering the wheel for wear, play, and dirt.
