regardless of the setting made in the Adhesive
Weight Application Position configuration.
Best results can be achieved if the adhesive
weights are positioned with the outer edge being
flush with the rim edge.
Split Weight Programme
Some rims have spokes so wide that it is not
possible to place adhesive weights next to them;
a program which divides the counterweights
into two parts has been introduced to solve
this problem.
In this case, when the centred position is reached
and it becomes obvious that the balancing weight
will have to be applied in line with a spoke,
proceed as follows:
-
Remain in the centred position.
-
Select the
icon (displayed instead of the "select ALU
programmes" icon).
-
Select the spoke dimension on the displayed
window using the keypad: small, medium,
large or OFF (selection deactivated).
-
Confirm by pressing the Kis knob or the
ENTER button.
-
Apply two new counterweights in the posi-
tions indicated.
The weight division operations can be performed
on both balancing sides.
Static balancing
A wheel can be balanced using a single counter-
weight on one of its two sides or in the centre of
the well. in this case, the wheel is balanced stat-
ically. However, there is still the risk of dynamic
unbalance, which becomes more significant as
the width of the wheel increases.
Proceed as follows to balance motorcycle or car
wheels statically:
- Correctly set the wheel's geometric data as de-
scribed for the Dynamic balancing programme.
- Perform a spin.
- at the end of the spin, select the balancing
programme icon
knob or the ENTER button until the required
programme is selected.

- Apply the balancing weight in the 12 o'clock
position on either the outer or inner side, or
at the centre of the rim well, indifferently. If
applied in the well, the weight is applied on
a diameter smaller than the rated diameter of
the rim. A value of 2 or 3 inches less than the
rated value must therefore be entered when
the diameter is set in order to obtain correct
results.
Best results can be achieved if the weight is
divided into two parts to be applied on the two
sides of the rim.
