To balance a Wheel using ALU5 Mode:
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d. Mount the Wheel on the Balancer.
Refer to Mounting a Wheel for mounting instructions, if needed.
e. Turn the Balancer Off and then back On, to reset, if required. The display should be flashing,
and –a- will appear in the Inner Display Window.
