Follow the on-screen prompts, and then press “Restart Procedure.” 
Mounting Error Detection Features 
To verify that the tire/wheel assembly is centering, remount the tire/wheel assembly 
and observe the results. Do any of the following conditions occur? 
x  Weight amount varies excessively 
x  Weight location changes 
If any of these conditions occur, the centering accuracy of the tire/wheel assembly 
needs to be verified. 
x  From the balance screen, the operator can choose to perform a 
CenteringCheck®. The CenteringCheck® feature will 
automatically confirm if the wheel is centered for the operator on 
the balancer (preventing improper measurement from occurring). 
Front/Back Cone Mounting 
Cone mounting is one of the most common and reliable ways to mount wheels on 
balancers. 
Select the proper wheel mounting cone by placing it in the center bore of the wheel 
to be balanced. Select the cone that contacts the wheel nearest the center of the 
cone. 
Place the wheel mounting cone on the spindle against the spring plate. Mount the 
wheel with the inner rim facing the balancer and centered on the cone. 
Install the clamping cup and wing nut on the spindle shaft against the wheel and 
secure the entire assembly by firmly tightening the wing nut, while depressing the 
foot pedal to hold the spindle in place. 
OR
Use the Spindle-Lok® foot pedal: depress and hold down while tightening the wing 
nut. Holding the shaft locked while tightening the wing nut improves centering 
accuracy. 
Slowly roll the wheel toward you during the initial tightening of the wing nut. This aids 
in accurate wheel centering and increased repeatability, since the wheel is allowed to 
roll up the taper of the cone as opposed to forcing it to slide up the cone.
