1, Safety Instructions
• Mak.e certain all operators are properly trained. Improper operations may result in incorrect
measurement.
• Environments. should conform tolhe regulations In this instrucUon manual.
• Keep the guard in working order.
• Transporlalion and operations should stricUy follow the reg!llations in this manual, otherwise,
the manufacturer wlll not be responsible for the damage caused by Improper transportation or
operation.
• To use the. eqµlpment beyond Its measurement range may cause damage to it and can not
ensure precise measurement.
• If operators violate safety regulations thus damagethe machine by dismounting saf,;ty
devices ,the manufacturer will immediately ce;ise it's safety promise.

The balancer must be transported in .the
original package and be placed in the specified
position.
Use a fo*lift with correspc:mding capacity to
move the packed machine and the direction of
the forklift ls shown in figure 2.

4, Opening Package ·
• Check the package, lflhere are some problems, please do not open it, and contact the
supplier and the carrier at once.
• Make sure that the package is not damage,:! and then open the protection carton and plastic
bag. Check the accessory case according to the packing list. Check whether the machine
surface Is in good cond.ilion and whether there is loss or damage to the parts.• Dismount the. bolts on the base and make the balancer steadily rest.• Please do not use the machine and contact the
supplier at once if there are some problems.
5, Machine Installation
5.1 Location
• The machine must be located in the working
environment described in 2. 3 and the ground CB-1200
figure3
{. .•

should be solid.
• Sockets that match the power supply and motor power described in 2. 3 are available nearby
• . Air joints described in 2. 3 are available nearby.
• Space for installing is big enough to meet the needs in figures 3 and 4 and ensures each part
of the machine to work normally.
• Put up a shelter if placed outdoors.
5.2 Installing parts

• Shaft. Take out the threaded end and bolts
from the accessory case. Mount them firmly according to figure 5.
• Mount the cone on the corresponding arm.
5.3 Power Connection
Connect air pipe, adjust air, and make the instructions in the barometer is about 0.7 MPa .Put the
plug in the socket to finish
installing the balancer.

7, Operating Instructions
7.1 Self-check
When switched on, the system begins self-check
and then enters standard dynamic mode
measurement.(refer to figure 7)
7.2 Installing Wheel

Choose the optimal cone for the center hole and mount it on the balancer.(refer to figures 8 and
9). Use the elevator to assist installing if

the wheel is too heavy.
The method shown in figure 9 is
preferable because it approximates to
installing wheel on a real car.

7 .3 Wheel Parameters Input
Unlike ALUS which needs 4
parameters, other modes need
3 parameters.
Parameter values are shown in
figure 10. ( dynamic and static
modes, ALU1-3 mode,
motorcycle mode) Figure 11

ALU mode refers to five counterweight sticking
modes reduced according to the shapes and
sizes of most rims. ( figure 17)
The measurement process of ALU is the same as
that of standard dynamic mode

Because ALUS inputs the precise size of the correction plane with the aid of
automatic gauge, it compensates for ALU mode that ALU1·3 fail to satisfy, and It is
more accurate and easier than the traditional ALU mode (refer to figure 19)

ALUS has to choose two proper correction
planes on both sides of rim. Clean the position to be
