3 - SETUP
3.1 - Anchoring
The machine can operate on any fl at non resilient fl oor. Make sure that the machine rests solely on the three support
points provided (
Fig. 2a).
3.2 - Electrical connection
(A) The machine is supplied with a single- phase mains cable plus earth (ground).
The power supply voltage (and mains frequency) is indicated on the machine identifi cation plate and cannot be
changed. Connection to the mains must always be made by expert personnel. The machine must not be set up
without proper earthing. Connection to the mains must be made with a slow-acting safety switch calibrated to 3A
(230V) or 8A (115V) . See enclosed diagram.
3.3 - Fitting the wheel fi xture shaft (see attached prospectus)
The balancing machine's main advantage is its fi xed shaft tool. This means that when the wheel is fi tted on the tool, it
is free to turn on its own bearings, exactly reproducing the conditions of use when it is fi tted on the motor bike.
▪
Balancing is not affected by inaccuracies in the wheel-fl ange-shaft coupling typical of traditional rotating shaft balan
cing machines. This means that you can achieve the best possible accuracy.
▪
Use the AF12 or AF15 tools with cones and axial blockage rings for wheels with traditional fi xture
(through- journal).
▪
Use the rotating AGF tool for wheels with outboard fl anged fi xture (BMW, Honda).(See specfi c brochure for correct
assembly).
▪
Push the chosen tool well home into the balancing machine’s hollow shaft and block it in position by tightening the
screws accessible from the baseplate hole.
NOTE ON AGF TOOL: Remove it from the balancer after use to avoid permanent deformation of
brush bristles.
3.4 - Fitting the wheel
The AF12 and AF15 fi xed shaft tools enable you to fi t wheels with a maximum hole of 35 mm on their own bearings.
Do not overtighten the threaded ring, as this would put excessive axial load on the bearings. When you fi t the wheel,
you will notice that the brush adapts automatically (radially) to the shape of the wheel hub. During balancing opera-
tions, the brush will turn together with the wheel and transmit the motion to the balancing machine’s built-in position
transducer. If you use the special AGF tool, the rotating movement will be transmitted to the brush by the rotating part
of the tool.
