You should never have to add weight in multiple locations on the same side of the wheel. The problem is that you were putting the weights in the wrong position. Each setting has two red dots showing you where to place the weight on the rim. The style of rim would determine which setting you should go with. For example, a common steel wheel usually just takes a tap on weight on each side. For that mode you would actually set the machine so none of the settings are lit up. It’s kind of the ‘basic’ typical mode. It doesn’t really matter if the wheel is steel or aluminum, the bottom 3 just say aluminum because “usually” aluminum wheels don’t have an edge on both sides, so you would have to use the stick on weights. Once in awhile though you’ll come across aluminums that you can still use the tap on weights because they still have the edge on both sides, so in that case you could still use the basic mode even though it’s not an ‘aluminum setting’. But if you do use one of the bottom 3 settings you have to pay attention to the diagram and place the weights in the appropriate spot for that setting. Hope this helps!
I believe selecting an aluminum wheel setting and then using clip on weights resulted in slightly too much weight being added,.possibly because the clip on weights sit slightly further from the axis of rotation. Adding additional weights 180 degrees away should have been a clue that something wasn't right and he had added too much weight perviously.
Lol, just happens somtimes! Probably a good machine to have around! Would be neat to know if you could also use that machine without having to use magnets
Thank you for watching and commenting. By magnets do you mean the press on weights? If so, then yes it can be used with the clip on style weights. I have since used them on some wheels. Thanks again for watching and commenting
Glad to hear you are happy with the tire machines, I have a pair of rally wheels that need balanced if you need some more practice. ;) Merry Christmas my friend.
Hello, I also have this machine. When I press the power button, it says b-6.0. For 2 days, it says ope on the left, but there is nothing on the right. What could be the reason?
Thanks for letting me know. Its just the setting that I have found to work for steel wheel so in my mind that's how I think of it. Thanks again for commenting!
Static balancing only balances in the plane through the center of the wheel and will not compensate for a wobble type imbalance where the heavy spot is off to one side of the tire/wheel and this is why dynamic balances use compensating weights on both sides of the wheel at specific locations.
Your off by using the weights you use , that set up is for sticky weights , look at the diagram’s dude !! If yours using the edge weights keep it on dynamic ! The first setting !!😂
No disrespect intended Sir, but I would toss this video or cut off the first 4.40 minutes rather than having folks watch the whole thing twice do to a mistake. Other than that, you speak clear and make a decent video. Thank you Sorry thumbs down.
That great I just bought the same one. This was a big help. When you use the stick On weight's you must clean the shit out off the rim or they won't stick. Have fun

Thanks for the vid mate
Your welcome and thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Thank you Nick. Bring the rally wheels anytime you like. Merry Christmas to you as well my friend.
Good video.
What is that noise that is heard at the end of the swing.
I believe the noise you heard was the machine basically "braking" . Thank you for watching and commenting.

STA/DYN doesn't stand for "STEEL" it means STATIC and DYNAMIC.
