BALANCING PROCEDURES 23
Heavier wheel assemblies may require extra
lifting to prevent the software limited motor
torque control from stopping the rotation of the
spindle.
Tap the foot pedal twice and the spindle will rotate to
install the wing nut to save threading time.
A single tap within the first three seconds of rotation will
reverse the direction of rotation. A single tap after the first
three seconds of rotation will stop rotation.
Quick-Thread® spindle rotation will stop when the
clamping components contact the wheel, or when the
foot brake is applied for more than half of a second.
Quick-Thread® does not tighten the wing nut!
In Quick-Thread® rotation, torque allowed is
minimal. Therefore, the wing nut must still be
hand-tightened before balancing.
Installing the Wheel Using Auto-Clamp™
Wheel Clamping (Optional)
With the safety hood open, place the collet on the spindle
shaft against the captivated spring. Position the wheel
with the inside surface facing the balancer, centered on
the collet.

Lift the wheel assembly onto the shaft as normal without
threading on the wing nut.

With the left hand, hold the rim over the collet to remove
the weight of the rim from the spindle shaft 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.
