COATS 700 Solid State Wheel Balancer - Manual (Page 11)

you do not need to remeasure the wheel or reset
the wheel measurements. Mount the tire, remove
any weights, lower the hood, and press START.
Alloy Balancing
Specialty wheels, balanced with adhesive backed
weights hidden on the inner surface of the wheel,
should be balanced in the ALLOY mode. When the
ALLOY mode is selected, the computer automatically
calculates the outer weight position as the middle of
the rim width. The inner weight position is under the
inner flange of the wheel (Figure 10). All alloy wheel
dimensions are measured and entered into the
balancer in the same manner as described in the
Entering Wheel Measurements section.
Weights must be attached
securely to wheel surfaces
cleaned according to weight
manufacturer’s recommendation. Failure to do so
may cause weight to come loose during a spin,
resulting in personal injury.
Two Adhesive Weights, Outside Weight Visible
1.
Mount wheel and remove weights.
2. Press Mode key until the ALLOY LED is
illuminated.
3. Enter wheel offset, diameter, and rim width
measurements.
4. Lower the hood and press START. Wait for
readings to appear and wheel to stop.
5. Raise the hood and rotate wheel until left weight
position lights blink.
Figure 10 - Two Adhesive Weights, Right Weight Visible
6. Attach the specified weight to the left plane of
the wheel.
7. Rotate wheel until the right weight position lights
blink.
8. Attach the specified weight to the right plane of
the wheel.
9. Lower hood, press start, and respin the wheel.
Repeat Steps 5 through 8 until readings are 0.00.
NOTE: It is recommended that adhesive weights are
covered with aluminum foil or duct tape to keep the
weight clean and securely attached to the wheel.
IMPORTANT: After placing the balanced wheel on the
vehicle, check for adequate clearance between the
weight and the brake caliper.
Static Balancing
Static balanced wheels may wobble if the imbalance
mass is large enough and off the centerline of the rim
width. Wobble caused by an off center imbalance can
be corrected only by dynamic balancing of the wheel.
When the STATIC mode is selected, the computer
automatically calculates the middle of the rim width as
the proper weight position (Figure 11).
All wheel dimensions are measured and entered into
the balancer in the same manner as described in the
Entering Wheel Measurements section.
1. Press Mode key until the STATIC LED is
illuminated.
2. Lower hood and press START. Wait for the
reading to appear and the wheel to stop. The
weight displayed is the weight required to balance
the wheel (within 0.25-ounce).
3. Raise the hood and rotate the wheel until the
weight position lights blink.
4. Attach the specified weight to the center of the
wheel.

NOTE: It is recommended that adhesive weights are
covered with aluminum foil or duct tape to keep the
weight clean and securely attached to the wheel.
IMPORTANT: After placing the balanced wheel on the
vehicle, check for adequate clearance between the
weight and the brake caliper.
NOTE: If using static balancing mode with clip-on
weights, add 1.5-inches to the rim diameter to
compensate for weight placement.
