Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury we urge that our clients take some basic safety precautions when using this device. Please read the operation instructions carefully and make sure you have understood its content. Keep these operation instructions safe.
Description
The professional balancer is a great help in the correction of unbalance. With the use of gravity, it can find the focus of any tire and is suitable for almost all motorcycles. With the robust steel construction, this balancing machine guarantees a long-term use.
Safety instructions/warnings
The owner and/or user must have read and understood the operating instructions of the device before using it. Personnel should be cautious, competent, trained and qualified in the safe handling of the working equipment used when working on engines and their components. Warnings should be read and understood.

- Wear tight clothing.
- Take off jewellery (rings, earrings, watches, etc.).
- Be careful not to wear loose straps or belts.
Assembling the wheel balancer
- Place the stands with the bearings inward on the base. Position the stands over the inner or outer holes of the stand, depending on the tyre size you want to balance. Fasten the stands as shown with the 2×8 mm socket screws on the base. You need a 6 mm hex wrench and a 13 mm wrench.
- Screw a nut on each foot and carefully tighten it. Do not over-tighten the screw.
- Change the height of the feet so that the balancing stand is straight. Check the stand with a water tank.
- When the balance stands straight, tighten the nuts of the feet.

Using the balancing block
-
Use the balancing block on a stable flat surface. If necessary, adjust the feet.
-
In the first step, mount the empty rim with valve and brake disc, but without tyre on the balance stand. When the wheel is centred on the spindle, fix the screws in the cones with a 3 mm hex wrench. Check the tight fit and push the rubber stoppers against the bearings to prevent them from slipping.

Figure 2 Resting position neutral rim
-
When the rim has come to rest, the lightest point is at the top (see Fig. 1).
-
For the further work, it is useful to mark the lightest point (point on fig. 1 above). For this, you can use oil chalk or a piece of adhesive tape.
-
At the lightest point, add so much to the provisional weight that the rim will turn by about 90° (see fig. 2). For an empty engine wheel rim, a maximum of 30 g of balancing weight should be required. If you need more weight, then you should check the rim and the attachments for damage. Check the height.

- Pull the tire onto the neutral rim and let it swing out. The lightest place is now up again (see Fig. 3). Mark this spot in a different colour.
- Now remove the applied balancing weight (step 5). With a little bit of luck, the unbalance of the rim without tires and the rim with tires is annulled. If this is not the case, turn the rim so that the two marked points are as shown in Fig. 4. Now the complete wheel is balanced. Normally, you only need one of the two weights. The weight must be applied until the complete wheel remains in the rest position. When doing so, be careful to use as little weight as possible, the weight should be evenly distributed on both sides of the rim. If a total weight of more than 50 g is required, then you should reclaim the tyre.
