86 5. Balancing Features and Options GSP9700 Series Road Force Measurement System Operation
5.6 Hood Autostart Feature
The balancer can be set to automatically spin the wheel upon hood closure. After a
spin, the hood must be lifted completely before the balancer will Autostart again.
For safety, the balancer will not Autostart in “Calibration,” “Setup,” “Diagnostics,” if no
balancing procedure is selected, or if the Inflation Station hose is out of its “home
position.”
The hood close Autostart feature can be enabled or disabled in the “Setup”
procedure. Refer to “Setting Up the Hood Autostart Feature,” page 107.
5.7 Loose Hub Detect Feature
When the GSP9700 senses that the wheel is loose, it will automatically stop the spin.
You should tighten the wing nut before proceeding.
NOTE: If the wing nut appears to be tight, remove the wing nut and
then clean and lubricate the spindle threads. Refer to
“Spindle Hub Face and Shaft Maintenance,” page 129.
5.8 Inflation Station
Inflation Station provides preset tire pressure setting to ensure accurate Road
Force Measurement (before and after matching) and safe assemblies for final
mounting on the vehicle. The GSP9700 can reduce as well as increase the tire
pressure.
NOTE: The Inflation Station is a factory installed feature that is not
on earlier models of the GSP9700.
Lift the hose from the storage position (while in the “Balance” or “Runout & Road
Force” screens) and the Inflation Station screen will automatically pop up.
Use the control knob to adjust the desired air pressure limit.
Upon sensing that the air hose is attached to the valve stem, the tire pressure will
automatically be set to the target air pressure.
In cases of a tire with pressure below 15 psi, “Auto-Set Pressure” can be selected to
begin filling.
Press “Hold pressure” or “STOP” at any time to halt auto pressure setting.
Depending on “how far off,” the pressure is and how large the tire, the dialed-in
pressure will usually be reached in three or less air “bursts” or “exhausts.” When the
tire reaches the dialed-in pressure, the on-screen tire graphic will turn green.
