rest position (fully retracted) so that it is well clear of the work area during the spin cycle.
- Bring the wheel lift to its fully extended position by pulling the relevant handle (A, fig.8);
- raise the wheel lift by setting the control lever (B, fig.8) to UP until the lift platform is
in contact with the tyre.
Important
At this point raise the lift platform (C, fig.8) a fraction more so that it takes a little of the
weight of the wheel to adjust for the slight dropping at the time that the wheel is released
from the spin shaft caused by the small amount of give in the pneumatic lift cylinders.
- Release the wheel by removing the spinner and the counter flange or the cone;
- pull the carriage outward until the wheel is clear of the spin shaft (so that it can be
lowered);
- completely lower the wheel lift using the DOWN control lever;
- roll the wheel off the lift platform;
- push the wheel lift in so that it is properly stowed (home position).
In fig. 9 are the positions occupied by the operator during the various work phases:
A Mounting / disassembling operations, launch, dimension detection (where provided)
and wheel balancing
B Machine programs selection
In this way, the operator is able to perform, monitor and verify the outcome of each wheel
balancing and intervene in case of unforeseen events.
