Introduction
Operator’s Manual
3 Introduction.
This wheel balancer combines advanced, high-
performance technology, robustness and reliability with
very simple, user-friendly operation.
The low rotation speed of the wheel ensures that this
balancer is very safe.
It features an easy-to-use display and input panel,
ensuring fast and intuitive operation.
Operator time and effort are reduced to a minimum,
while maintaining accuracy and consistancy.
Always work in a clean area and with clean wheels, no
dirt stuck in the tyre or on the rim. That way a proper
mounting of the wheel and an optimal balancing result
can be reached.
Application.
The off-the-vehicle wheel balancer is designed for
dynamic and static balancing of passenger car and
light-truck wheels, that fall within the limits stated in
the technical specifications.
This is a high accuracy measuring device. Handle with
care.
