value of the side to be balanced, while the other shows a numerical value updated
on the basis of the sensor position, which becomes zero when the position for ap-
plication of the weight is reached.
- IN THE MACHINE VERSION WITH MANUAL SENSOR with the wheel in a centred po-
sition, the machine indicates the unbalance value on a display, whereas the other
display shows the message "d1" or "d2" alternately to the distance value of the plane
corresponding to the body.
- Move the sensor to the position shown on the display in which the message "d1" or
"d2" appears alternately to the distance value (the distance is read on the rule).
- Turn the end of the measuring arm until the weight adhesive strip is in line with the
rim surface.
- Press the button (Fig. 15d) to eject the weight and make it stick to the rim.
- Return the measuring arm to the rest position (Fig. 15e).
- Repeat the operations to apply the second balancing weight.
- Perform a test wheel spin to check the balancing accuracy.
The rim surface must be perfectly clean to make the weight stick efficiently to the
rim. If necessary, clean the surface using suitable cleansing products.
In the machine versions without a weight-holding device proceed as follows:
- Select the plane where the first balancing weight is to be applied.
- Turn the wheel until the central element of the corresponding position indicator lights up.
- Apply the adhesive weight manually in the position in which the relative plane was
measured, using the weight center of mass as a reference. In this phase, one display
shows the unbalance value of the side to be balanced and the other shows the mes-
sage "H.XX" that indicates the correct position of application as shown in Figure 11c.

This function is automatically enabled when an ALU P = EASY ALU programme is selected.
It modifies the selected positions for the application of adhesive weights, so as
to ensure perfect balancing of the wheel using commercially available adhesive
weights (i.e. multiples of five grams). The accuracy of the machine is thereby im-
proved, avoiding rounding-off or cutting the weights to be applied to come closer to
the actual unbalance values.
The modified positions, where the adhesive weights are to be applied, are identified by
the user according to the information given by the wheel balancer (see the BALANCING
WEIGHT APPLICATION section).

This programme divides the outer weight Pe into two weights P1 and P2 located in any
position chosen by the operator.
The only condition is that the two weights and the original outer weight Pe must be
within an angle of 120°, as shown in Fig. 16.
