Hood (Wheel Guard)
CAUTION
Never raise up the wheel guard before the
wheel has come to a stop. Keep hair, loose
clothing, fingers and all parts of body away
from moving parts.
If, due to a fault in the machine, the wheel keeps spin-
ning permanently, switch off the machine at the master
switch or by unplugging the plug from the power
supply. Wait until the wheel stops before opening the
wheel guard.
Using the Hood Sonar (Width Sensor)
When prompted by the balancer instructions, use the
hood sonar (width sensor, figure 12) to enter wheel
width measurement automatically. Lower balancer
hood to enter the measurement.

Note: Refer to page 15 to measure the W dimension
manually using the plastic calipers.
Auto Wheel Positioning
CAUTION
Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all
parts of body away from moving parts.
The balancer’s auto positioning feature stops the
wheel automatically at the corrective weight location.
The wheel is spun and unbalances are measured and
displayed. The inboard center bar highlights green as
the balancer stops the wheel at the inboard corrective
weight location (top-dead-center). (If an inboard correc-
tive weight is not required then the wheel will stop at
the outboard corrective weight location.) Press NEXT.
The outboard center bar highlights green as the wheel
automatically moves and stops at the outboard correc-
tive weight location (top-dead-center).
Pressing NEXT moves the wheel automatically to
the next corrective weight location. Pressing STOP &
EXIT releases the wheel so that it can be manually
positioned.
After several minutes of inactivity, the auto position-
ing feature will turn itself off. Press NEXT to make the
feature activate again.
