hole smaller in diameter than the shaft (46mm).
It must be used as follows:
- remove the threaded part of the shaft (threaded hub);
- fit the flange on the balancing machine shaft, fixing it with the screw provided;
- fit the pins of the RFT caliper in two adjacent fixing holes on the rim and measure the
distance between them (fig. 13);
- arrange the threaded pins of the quick flange so that there is one pin for each hole
in the wheel and the distance between them is that measured earlier using the RFT
caliper.
In case of wheels with six holes, three pins have to be used.
- Pre-tighten the nuts of the connecting-rod pins so that there is just a little resistance
when they are turned.
For correct centring it is essential not to tighten the nuts completely at this stage, to
allow them to settle into position when the wheel is clamped onto the flange later.
- Fit the wheel on the flange and secure it with the nuts provided.
- Definitively tighten the nuts which secure the connecting-rod pins.
SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE
Switch on the machine using the switch provided on the left-hand side of the body (I
fig. 4).
The balancing machine performs a checking test (all the LEDs illuminate), and if
no anomalies are detected, a beeper sounds and the cycle status initially active is
displayed, as follows:
- truck wheel balancing function (the corresponding indicator light is on);
- active balancing mode: dynamic (DYN);
- values displayed : 000 000;
- grams displayed in steps of 50 (ounces x 1);
At this point, the user may set the data of the wheel to be balanced or select one
of the programs available.
