84 5. Balancing Features and Options GSP9700 Series Road Force Measurement System Operation
5.2 WeightSaver™ Wheel Balancing Feature
Essentially, SmartWeight sets limits on the forces. WeightSaver adjusts the
percentage of these forces to either save weight, or have a more fine-tuned balance.
With SmartWeight, and bar graph in the green is within acceptable limits.
WeightSaver allows that bar graph window to be changed.
The WeightSaver™ wheel balancing feature is a percentage of the force limit
intentionally left in the assembly to save weights.
The lower the value favors a lower residual force and a higher value favors weight
savings. The following example is set at the default of 75%.
The example below shows a 75% residual goal, which means that WeightSaver
allows 75% of the maximum allowed force to remain. This saves more weight, saves
time, and saves money.
5.3 Quick-Thread™ Feature
Quick-Thread™ is an “intelligent” DC drive motor control feature that allows motor
assisted threading for fast installation and removal of the GSP9700 wing nut. Quick-
Thread can be enabled or disabled from the “Setup” screen.
WARNING: Keep clear of clamping components during
Quick-Thread shaft rotation.
Lift the wheel assembly onto the shaft as normal without threading on the wing nut.
With your left hand, hold the rim over the cone to remove the weight of the rim from
the spindle and to allow maximum quick-thread wing nut travel.
Place the wing nut on the spindle and rotate one full turn onto the spindle threads.
With your right hand, hold one handle of the wing nut while you are still lifting the rim.
