Direct Select™ Weight Location
When the machine is turned ON, the balancer defaults
to a 2-plane dynamic mode using standard clip-on
wheel weight locations (Clip 1 and Clip 2) and wheel
dimensions.
1. Before setting wheel dimensions and spinning the
wheel, first press the Direct Select Weight Placement
icon (see page 10) to go to the Direct Select screen and
enter an alternate weight placement location on the
wheel as follows:
Clip 1 (default) - select this location to place a stan-
dard clip weight on the Inboard rim flange.
T1 Tape - select this location to place an adhesive
weight on the Inboard side of the wheel that is the
horizontal plane at the outer edge.
T2 Tape - select this location to place an adhesive (hid-
den) weight on the Outboard side of the wheel that is
the horizontal plane in the inner area.
T3 Tape - select this location to place an adhesive
weight on the Outboard side of the wheel that is the
horizontal plane at the outer edge.
Clip 2 (default) - select this location to place a stan-
dard clip weight on the Outboard rim flange.
2. Press EXIT to return to the main screen.

Setting Wheel Dimensions (DIM)
Before a wheel can be balanced, wheel dimensions
must be entered into the computer.
Definition of Dimensions (DIM)
A = Offset
The distance measured from the balancer (“0” on off-
set arm) to inner plane of the rim (inner weight location).
W = Width
The width of the wheel at the rim flanges, measured
with the calipers as shown in figure 22.
Note: Only use calipers provided by the wheel bal-
ancer manufacturer because others may be different.
D = Diameter
The diameter of the wheel as indicated on the tire.
Note: A thick flange, on some aluminum wheels, can
effect the measured diameter. For example, a 16-inch
rim can have a measured diameter of 15.5-inches.
Figure 20 - W, D, and A Tire Dimensions
A2 = Offset
The distance measured from the balancer (“0” on
offset arm) to outer plane of the rim (outer weight loca-
tion). Used only for adhesive weight location.
D2 = Diameter
The diameter as measured at the A2 weight location.
Used only for adhesive weight location.
