5.1 Alu P WEIGHTS APPLICATION WITH THE
SAPE ARM
When Alu 2P or Alu 3P is selected (See Figure 27a-C),
The SAPE Arm is used to determine the desired weight
location, Extend the SAPE to the inner position and wait
a few seconds for the placement to register, the place-
ment LED will fl ash during this time. See fi gure 27a-D.

Extend the SAPE Arm to the outer position and wait for
the signal to return the arm to home. Spin the assembly.
Use the SAPE Arm to position the corrective weights
as indicated by the display. Rotate the wheel until all
position LEDs are lit (A+B, Figure 27a). 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 cor-
rect application position has been reached. The weight
amount will then be displayed and fl ash and the WAP
indicator will lite up (Figure 27a-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 SAPE
head the suitable adhesive weight.(1, Figure 28b). Re-
move the protective tape (2, Figure 28b) 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 SAPE 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 possi-
ble 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.
