5. MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION
5.1 Cleaning the Unit
When cleaning the unit, use window cleaning solution to wipe off the display console
and cabinet. Do not spray window cleaning solution directly onto control panel. Do
not hose down the unit. This could damage the electrical system.
5.2 Spindle Hub Face and Shaft Maintenance
Keep the spindle shaft and wing nut threads clean and lubricated. Lubricate the shaft
without contaminating the hub face. Run the edge of a rag between the threads while
the spindle is slowly turned by the motor drive. If any signs of dirt or debris appear on
the spindle threads, the spindle should be cleaned immediately prior to mounting a
wheel.
CAUTION: Failure to clean spindle properly will result in a loss of
clamping force.
Lubricate the shaft with a coating of light lubricant with Teflon
®
such as Super Lube
®
by Loctite
®
after cleaning. Do not lubricate the spindle hub face mounting surface.
This could cause slipping between the wheel and the hub face. Keep the hub face
mounting surface clean and dry.
5.3 Mounting Cone Maintenance
Keep the mounting cones clean and lubricated. Periodically lubricate with a coating
of rust preventative to minimize corrosion. Spray lubricants, such as PS/2 or WD-40,
are recommended.
Do not use cones in any way that is not described in this operation manual. This
could cause damage to the mounting cone and not allow for proper mounting of the
wheel. Refer to “Mount the Wheel on the Spindle Shaft,” page 19.
5.4 Identifying Software Version and Serial Number
If a problem arises, have your software version number and the balancer serial
number at hand before calling for service. This will prevent the need for a second
phone call.
The serial number is located on the serial plate label on the back of the balancer
cabinet.
To access the software version number, press and hold the
“Enter” button while
turning the machine “ON.” The left weight digits display the balancer model as
determined by the configuration jumpers.
