2. Use of balancing machine
A.Attention before using

※Carrying the balance machine can only lift the machine chassis , can't
lift the main shaft in any case.
※Balancing machine and Pneumatical lifting device must place at steady
ground (can be fixed with expansion screw ) and guarantee enough space
all around or it will cause the balance error if the machine is unstable.
※Outer power must have protective devices to prevent electricity leak,
the machine case must be grounded (earth connection is in rear of the
machine).
※Balancing machine cann’t be placed in a moist environment , otherwise
machine will be damaged.
※While installing the lead screw on the shaft , clean the main shaft and
lead screw level with alcohol or petrol first , then connect the lead screw
to the main shaft and fasten by spanner
※While balancing medium and small sized tire , choose suitable cone.
Then lock the tyre with cone and nut (inside of the tyre is close to the
machine case)
※While balancing the large sized tyre , first fasten clean matching device
on the main shaft, then clamp the tyre on the main shaft with cone which
is suitable for the tyre centre bore and balance tyre.
※While installing the large sized tire, pneumatical lifting device can be
used to assist installation.
※The external air source connected to pneumatical lifting device must
guarantee to be about 0.8 MPa (moves the pneumatic switch to lift or
drop).

B Putting through the power and number input

B1.Putting through the power

Switching on power , the machine display

board shows that it marks “001”, in the
computer memory, it shows A-8.0
several seconds later which indicates
that machine operation is normal.
Then input set wheel size, see
following instruction about input
method (note that balancing machine
computer automatically sets up
dynamic balance each time when turning on
computer )

B2.Size input

5
 ★For example testing luxurious wheel rim of
Santana, please see picture on last page , use
ruler that this machine has to measure gap
size between machine and tyre: A=7.5cm
Press↑, number increases
Press↓, number decreases
★Use calliper that the machine has to measure ty
width, see picture L=6.0 inch
Press↑, number increases
Press↓, number decreases
This size is caliber of tyre which needn’t to be
measured, see tyre model “185/70 R13” d=13 inch
Press↑, number increases
Press↓, number decreases

C.Some examples about balancing

☆Press Start key, 8 seconds later, automatic

brake shows as pictures:
140 is error value inside tyre
110 is error value outside tyre

☆Rotate wheel to make inside indicator lamp be

on and vertical over the main shaft, strike 140g
lead lump on wheel steel(may use pedal brake to
assist making tyre steady) as picture

☆At this time inside indicator indicates 00,

then rotate wheel to make outside indicator
lamp be on and vertical over the main shaft,
take away 110g lead lump from wheel steel as
picture
☆At this time outside indicator also indicates
00, balance is over, unload the tyre.If you test
tyre again, you needn’t switch off power.

D.Precautions in the process of use and balancing experiences
!Attention: ·When power starts, push the wheel by hands to assist
starting which will extend motor’s life.Due to balance angle error,
please find out by yourself when this machine rotates wheel to find
balance point, pay attention which direction is much more accurate
when wheel turns inward or outward.
·As the balance is over, unload the tyre, pay attention to handling with
care , don’t strike the main shaft.
·While assisting braking , by the time when the display board has data
to show , then can step on the pedal brake at the lower right corner of
the machine , otherwise diminish the life-span of the machine.

balancing experiences:
As indicated data is less than 50g, lead lump can be struck at the same
time on both sides
When number is greater than 50g , producer proposes to balance one
side after another, namely one side which balance number is greater is
balanced to reach “00” and then another side is balanced to reach " 00 ".
When there is still a small remaining part of lead lump after striking
lead lump, it is because there is a error of lead lump position,it can be
solved through moving lead lump to direction where there is space.
After “00”-“00” occur, 5,6,7g will occor also by accident, it is thought
to normal phenomenon.Precision of this machine is 5g namely it is zero
below 4g. Allowed change scope of this machine is 3g, 7 g error will
indicate by accident, it will not affect balancing effect of this machine.
When appearing incorrectly or repeatedly strike but not reach 00, you
can self correct the machine (please see the next page for re-storation of
standard process)
Comments: This experience is only for reference. Hope user can grasp
machine performance skillfully for better use.
3.self calibration
Self calibration has been finished in the factory. If you use for long time
and change part or doubt balance to be a big error, you can self
calibration it again.( Choose one medium-sized tyre to install on main
shaft , uneventy of steel rim on both sides of wheel is relatively slight,
only 13 inches and 14 inches).
Input correct number of this tyre A, L , D.
Attention: incorrect input of size will lead to that machine can’t correctly

7
determine caliber so following measurement will have errors.
◎Press R key, at the same time press START key in half
a second ,display board shows “CAL”-“CAL”, indicator
lamps are all on. After indicator lamp goes out, then
loosen one’s grip.
◎Press key START to commence the first cycle. At the
end of the first cycle ,the display reads “add 100”; While
the outer side positioning LED flash now add a weight of
100 gram on the OUTER side in any angular position .
◎ Press START key, the wheel rotated and brakes
automatically, the display board shows END-CAL, show
self correction is over.

◎Well–balanced tyre by this machine

shows data is “00”-“100” (car tyre: ±
10g, truck tyre: ± 50g ) after self
correction. 100g lead lump is rightly
under main shaft when outside indicator
lamps are all on ( 4°error is allowed),

Lights are all on when 100g lead lump is rightly under main shaft.

Two key elements to judge if self correction is accurate

1. Accurate number indication
2. Show that phase is right (namely outside indicator lamps are all on
and 100g lead lump is rightly under shaft. )

Problems that occur after self correction:

◎ Number indicated is ok, but phase is inaccurate, deviation is very
great.
Trouble: donot reduce after finishing striking the lead lump, usually the
store device is damaged . Change it.
◎ Showing ERR (this machine screen shows Err. -8-)
A .Problems with computer board.
B .The circuit of sensor is broken.

◎Number indicated has a big deviation, namely within 10g. (not affect
using )

8
 A. Generally use lead lump of 100g inaccurately.
B. The edge outside wheel rim is irregular, can take down the lead lump
and strike lead lump again on the opposite side and make comparation
through drawing 2 times average.
◎ Self correction cann’t be done because of different practices, fingers
can
slightly give a push. Time difference between two fingers is half a
second.
◎ Number indicated deviates a lot , changed number is still very big ,
generally because the board damage of the computer or the sensor is
problematic.
4.Diagnosis of automatic trouble
ERR1(Err.-1-)Phase generator or the computer board has problems and
change it.
ERR2(Err.-2-) Rotation speed is not fast enough or wheel not installed
(with tyre)
ERR3(Err.-3-) Imbalance of wheel is too big, change it for a trial.
ERR4(Err.-4-)Power system has problems, direction of rotation is not
right.Three phase mains can be replaced by any two phase
mains.
ERR5(Err.-5-) Meaningless
ERR7(Err.-7-) Store damage or signal loss, recorrect or replace.
ERR8(Err.-8-) Process of correction is not right or computer board,
sensor are damaged.
5.Options for mode of balancing
According to wheel material and rim structure , choose the following
balance mode to press F key in succession and can show the balance
mode that rim needs for different structure and material .
Dynamic balance: Normal- The light-alloy wheel rim of
dynamic balance adopts a method of adding balance lump at the
edge of rim.
Dynamic balance: Normal- Dynamic and static balances
revision is adopted when balance lump can’t be added on
motorcycle or both sides of rim.
ALU1- Balance the light-alloy rim, adopt a way of adhering
balance lump on the two shoulders in the rim.
ALU2- Balance the light-alloy rim, adopt a way of glueing
balance lump hidden inside.
ALU3- Inner circle clips balance lump, outside adhere to
balance lump ( balance lump position outside are as ALU2).

Attention: Every time when switching on, computer automatically sets
a state of dynamic balance.Key F needn’t to be pressed.
