DB-70 Automatic Wheel Balancer 32 P/N 5900261 — Rev. A1 — January 2021
Aluminum Alloy Balancing Modes
ALU Modes are used to balance Aluminum Alloy Wheels using Adhesive Weights, in most cases.
These weights can be placed in various locations on Aluminum Wheels. The choice of ALU mode
determines where you will place the weights. Determine which mode you will use before you begin the
balance testing. There are five available ALU modes with predetermined weight plane locations.
The ALUS mode is the only mode that allows the operator to choose where to place the weights, and
is used on Tires that will not balance using any of the predetermined placements ALU 1 through 5.
ALUS (Special Weight Placement)
To balance a wheel using an ALU mode:
1. Make sure you are dressed appropriately: leather gloves, steel-toed work boots, back belts,
hearing protection, and ANSI-approved eye protection: safety glasses, face shield, or goggles.
2. Visually inspect the Balancer to make sure everything is in place. The Tire Cover should be
up
.
If you find any issues, fix them. If there are issues you cannot fix, refer to Troubleshooting.
3. Make sure the Wheel you want to balance is both clean and free of any weights that may have
been put on previously. If it is dirty, clean it. Remove any existing weights.
Important: When using Adhesive Weights, it is extremely important to
clean the Wheel
; the
cleaner the Wheel, the longer the Adhesive Weight stays in place.
4. Mount the Wheel on the Balancer.
Refer to Mounting a Wheel for mounting instructions, if needed.
5. Turn the Balancer Off and then back On, to reset. The display should be flashing, and –a- will
appear in the Inner Display Window.
