Vibrex unit then displays a Measurements screen that reads out the
acquired balance measurements (see below).
4. If one or more readings become suspect for any reason, the user may
retake a reading by pressing the
REDO MEAS
context key. This
action automatically erases the former reading.
CAUTION: Pressing
GO BACK
cancels (undoes or erases) the

NOTE: High-horsepower, coarse pitch propellers may stall at a
maximum static RPM. Do not attempt a balance with the propeller
stalling, because the resulting balance reading in this situation is
inaccurate. A propeller is stalling if there is a noticeable change in
the propeller’s sound, from what the user normally hears.
