Electrical and electronic manufacturers and dis-
tributors set up proper collection and treatment
systems for these products for this purpose.
Contact your local distributor to obtain information
on the collection procedures at the end of the life
of your product.
When purchasing this product, your distributor will
also inform you of the possibility to return another
end-of-life piece of equipment free of charge as
long as it is of equivalent type and had the same
functions as the purchased product.
Any disposal of the product performed in a differ-
ent way from that described above will be liable to
the penalties provided for by the national regula-
tions in force in the country where the product is
disposed of.
Further measures for environmental protection
are recommended: recycling of the internal and
external packaging of the product and proper
disposal of used batteries (only if contained in
the product).
Your help is crucial in reducing the amount of natu-
ral resources used for manufacturing electrical and
electronic equipment, minimise the use of landfills
for product disposal and improve the quality of
life, preventing potentially hazardous substances
from being released in the environment.

GLOSSARY
Below is a brief description of some technical
terms used in this manual.
SELF-CALIBRATION
This procedure calculates suitable correction coef-
ficients starting from known operating conditions.
It improves the machine accuracy by correcting
to a certain extent the calculation errors that may
result from the alteration of the machine's features
over the course of time.

CENTRING
Procedure for positioning the wheel on the wheel
balancer shaft to ensure that the shaft axis cor-
responds to the wheel rotation axis.
BALANCING CYCLE
Sequence of operations to be performed by the
user and the machine from the beginning of the
spin until the wheel is braked to a stop after cal-
culating the unbalance values.
CONE
Conical element with a central hole which, when
inserted on the wheel balancer shaft, is used to cen-
tre the wheels having central holes with a diameter
ranging between maximum and minimum values.
DYNAMIC BALANCING
Procedure for unbalance compensation by apply-
ing two weights, one on each of the two wheel sides.
STATIC BALANCING
Procedure for correcting only the static element of
the unbalance, by applying only one weight, usually
at the centre of the rim well. Accuracy increases
as the width of the wheel decreases.
