To balance aluminum wheels we usually use self-adhesive weights that are positioned
differently from the standard balancing (fig. 17).
There are various ALU balancing programs, specially designed to work with rims of this
type.
To select the ALU programs:
- press the

control panel).
ALU 1P= EASY ALU 1 and ALU 2P= EASY ALU 2 programs
These programs are used for maximum precision balancing on light aluminum rims that
require the application of both weights on the same side (inner) in relation to the
rim disk.

which the stick-on weights are to be applied with absolute precision, and in relation to
the specific shape of the rim. However, bear in mind that in order to reduce the size of the
weights to be applied, it is best to select balancing planes as far apart as possible;
if the distance between the two planes is less than 37 mm (1.5") the message "Err 5" is
displayed.
To perform the measurement:
- Move the end of the automatic sensor in correspondence with the plane selected for
the application of the inside balancing weight. In Alu 1 P
of the cavity on the end of the arm where the adhesive weight for application will be
placed is assumed as reference (Fig. 18a). In ALU 2P= EASY ALU 2 the reference is
the edge of the rim, given that the inside weight is of the traditional spring type (Fig.
14).
Make absolutely certain that the end of the sensor is positioned in an area free of
discontinuity, so that the weight can be applied in the same position.
- Keep the arm in position. After two seconds the machine will give a beep to confirm
that the distance and diameter values has been acquired.
- Bring the end of the automatic sensor arm onto the plane chosen for application of
the outside weight (fig. 18b), as already described for the inside of the rim.
- Keep the arm in position and wait for the beep of confirmation.
If the measuring arm is returned to the rest position after acquisition of the data for
