Troubleshooting
⚠ DANGER Disconnect the Power Cord from power before performing any
troubleshooting procedures
and take whatever steps are necessary to make
sure the unit cannot be re-energized until Troubleshooting is over. Because the unit
uses electricity, you could be electrocuted or even killed if the unit is powered back
on during a Troubleshooting procedure. If your organization has Lockout/Tagout
policies, make sure to implement them before beginning any Troubleshooting.
Perform the following checks if you are experiencing balancing problems:
• Confirm the location and alignment of the alignment marks on the Shaft Assembly and Shaft
Housing (see Installing the Shaft for more information).
• Make sure the Balancer is anchored (see Anchoring the Balancer for more information).
• Perform a Weight Location Verification Test (see Weight Location Verification Test for more
information).
Perform the calibration with a steel Wheel of the most commonly used size.
Note: It is a good practice to keep a known good Wheel of the most commonly used size to
use as a calibration / reference tire to assist in troubleshooting.
Make sure the calibration weight used is a 100 gram or 3.5 ounce weight and that is mounted
correctly during the calibration procedure.
