6. Setup
6.1 Placement
Position the wheel balancer on a level, stable surface capable of supporting the machine's weight and the maximum wheel weight. Ensure adequate space around the machine for safe operation and movement of wheels.
6.2 Power Connection
Connect the power cord to a dedicated 120V 1PH grounded electrical outlet. Verify that the power supply matches the machine's requirements to prevent electrical damage.
7. Operating Instructions
7.1 Powering On
Turn on the main power switch, usually located on the side or rear of the machine. The display panel should illuminate, indicating the machine is ready for operation.
7.2 Mounting the Wheel
- Select the appropriate mounting cone for the wheel's center bore.
- Slide the wheel onto the balancer shaft, ensuring it sits flush against the mounting flange.
- Secure the wheel with the quick-release nut, tightening it firmly but without excessive force.
7.3 Automatic Measurement
The KT-B750 features an automatic measurement ruler for inputting 'A' (distance from machine to rim) and 'D' (rim diameter) values.
- Extend the automatic measurement ruler until it touches the inner edge of the wheel rim.
- The machine will automatically detect and input the 'A' and 'D' values. Confirm these values on the display.
Figure 3: Using the automatic measurement ruler to input 'A' and 'D' values.
7.4 Inputting Wheel Width ('B' Value)
Manually input the wheel width ('B' value) using the control panel. Refer to the wheel's specifications or measure it directly.
7.5 Selecting Balance Mode
Choose the appropriate balance mode (e.g., static, dynamic, alloy rim modes) from the control panel based on the wheel type and desired balancing method.
7.6 Starting the Balancing Cycle
Close the wheel guard (if applicable) and press the START button. The machine will spin the wheel, measure imbalances, and display the required weight amounts and locations.
7.7 Applying Balance Weights
- Rotate the wheel manually to the indicated position for weight application. The laser indicator assists in precise placement at the 6 o'clock position.
- Apply the specified amount of balance weight to the indicated location on the rim.
- Repeat the balancing cycle if necessary until the display shows zero or minimal imbalance.
