46 BALANCING PROCEDURES
3.13 Split Spoke® Feature
When in either mixed weight or adhesive weight modes,
(dynamic or static), correction weights can be hidden
behind the spokes of a wheel.
If the Split Spoke® feature of hiding weights behind
spokes is to be used, position the Dataset® arm disk in
the center of a spoke and tap the foot pedal.
Figure 179.
Move to the next spoke and repeat. Up to 10 spoke
locations may be entered.
When SmartWeight® is enabled in conjunction
with wheel spoke entry, the “SmartSpoke®”
weight locator feature can in many instances
allow the use of weight at only one spoke when
it would have required two using conventional
spoke mode balancing.
Continue the balance procedure as normal.
To return to the single weight, touch “Split the Weight”
repeatedly until the weights become larger than the single
weight and return to the un-split weight.
Figure 178.
Correcting Large Imbalances
Split Weight® can also be used to apply three weights
when needed. For example, a large wheel may require
6.75 ounces. Not only is this size unlikely to be in the
weight tray, but splitting 6.75 ounces would likewise result
in large weights. In this case, apply one-third of the called
for weight (in this case 2.25 ounces) at the 6.75 ounce
weight location and spin the assembly again. The display
will now call for a 4.5 ounce weight to be placed on top of
the 2.25 ounce weight.
Touch “Split the Weight” to fan out the two weights until
they clear the previously applied 2.25 ounce weight. Then
place the two indicated ounce weights on either side of
the 2.25 ounce weight using the TDC indicators.
