WARNING
Using the Spindle-Lok® to stop a spinning wheel may result in personal injury or damage to the balancer.
3.7. Safety Hood Features
Hood Autostart
The balancer can be set to automatically spin the wheel upon hood closure. After a spin, the hood must be raised
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 Ination Station hose is out of its “home position.”
Auto Hood Feature
WARNING
Keep body parts and items away from the hood while a spin is in progress.
3.8. Balancing Procedures for Specic Weight Types & Placement using TruWeight™
The SmartWeight® HN offers both automatic and manual modes for weight placement.
Automatic Mode Manual Mode
Clip-clip, tape-tape and mixed weight modes are available for both dynamic and static balancing. With these options,
correction weights can be placed at an innite number of locations, based upon the choice of the operator.
Automatic is the default setting, automatically choosing the correct type of weights and locations determined by the
placement of the Dataset® arms. TruWeight™ shows the operator exactly how to place the weights on the wheel. Place
them exactly as displayed on the screen.
SmartScan™ Dimensions Entry
From the main balance screen, the operator can take wheel dimensions using SmartScan™ dimension entry.This is done
automatically by SmartScan’s™ inner and outer cameras when lowering the hood and performing a balance spin. Runout,
rim dimension, spoke and weight plane location, as well as the wheel weight type (either clip or tape) are calculated
automatically by SmartScan™ on every spin.
NOTE
If a wheel weight type other than what is determined by SmartScan™ is desired, users may touch a dierent
weight plane to change weight type.
Incorrect or missing spoke locations do not aect the balancer’s ability to properly balance wheels. Rim
prole calculations are performed separately from spoke identication. This can be veried by comparing the
appearance of the 3D generated prole to the actual wheel. Simply touch the “Enter Spokes” button and enter
spoke locations manually to correct spoke identication errors.
