3.4. Wheel Assembly Selection for Saving Spin Data
SAVING SPIN DATA
The HD Elite® automatically tracks the wheel assembly currently being balanced. The balancer assumes that the technician
is working “around the vehicle” by beginning at the LEFT FRONT and working around the vehicle in a clockwise fashion.
Successive spins are stored as either “before” or “after” data based on the following rules:
• If the weight displays read “OK/OK” or is blank, assume the next complete spin is “before” data.
• If the weight displays read anything other than “OK / OK” or is blank, assume the next complete spin is “after” data.
MEASUREMENT STORAGE
The HD Elite® automatically tracks the wheel assemblies as they are balanced. As the wheel assemblies are balanced,
their status can be viewed as they would appear on the vehicle currently being serviced. Select the VirtualView® button to
expand the VirtualView® panel. The panel can be further expanded to show detailed information for up to the last eight
wheel assemblies balanced.
PRINT SUMMARY
A printout is available that incorporates a detailed image of each wheel assembly with the stored measurements. If a
measured value is out of tolerance compared to the recalled specication, the value will be printed in red. From the main
balance screen, select “Print” > “Vehicle Summary”. The Vehicle Summary screen will be displayed.
3.5. Balance Modes
SmartWeight Balancing Technology® is a method of reducing
forces on a wheel during balancing.
SmartWeight® is not a procedure. Instead, it measures the
forces of side-to-side movement and up-and-down shake and
computes weight to reduce these forces. This reduces the
amount of correction weight used, balancing time required,
check spins needed and “weight chasing”.
SmartWeight® saves the shop time and money.
Dynamic Balancing – Traditional Balancing Mode
NOTICE
SmartWeight Balancing Technology® is the default balancing method and is the most recommended way to
accurately balance wheel / tire assemblies.
Enter wheel dimensions before selecting dynamic balancing. If SmartWeight® mode is enabled in setup, the
balancer will return to SmartWeight® balancing upon dimension entry.
