COATS 6401 Computer Truck Wheel Balancer - Manual (Page 13)

Selecting Balancing Mode
Four balancing modes are available on the 6401. Select the bal-
ancing mode based on wheel type and customer request. Press
the mode key to select the desired balance type. The LED will
illuminate to indicate your selection. In the static mode, the bal-
ancer will automatically adjust the wheel diameter to compen-
sate for the actual location of the weight(s).
Note: See page 12 for balancing procedures.
Car Dynamic
The most common mode used for passenger
cars and light trucks (Less than 14" diameter
tires). Selecting this mode tells the balancer
that standard clip weights will be used on the
inner and outer rim flanges.
RV Dynamic
Use this mode to balance larger wheels that do
not require balancing at 0.5 ounce or below (14"
to 16" diameter tires).
Truck Dynamic
Use this mode to balance larger wheels that do
not require balancing below 2 ounces (16"+
diameter tires).
Truck Static
Use this mode to static balance large wheels
(16"+ diameter tires). This is a two-plane static
balance.
Selecting Balancing Options
Round Off - The default weight measurement on the balancer
is 0.25 ounces in car mode or 0.50 ounces in truck mode. The
balancer can be set to a non-Round Off mode that displays
weights in 0.01 ounce increments. Press and hold the SHIFT
key and press 6 to toggle between the Round Off and non-
Round Off modes.
Ounce/Gram - In the default mode, the balancer will operate
in ounces. The balancer can be set to operate in grams by press-
ing and holding the SHIFT key and pressing 9. Toggle back to
ounces by using the same key sequence
