Coats 1500 Wheel Balance Demo - Clip and Tape Weight -- 

The Coats rep goes fast and the manual is difficult to understand :-( Not what you want when there is a line of cars waiting.

Thank you!

I have the same machine. I seen that being below .25 is concerned a good balance. I try to get the static down as low as possible though.

The static imbalance is the residual imbalance that is in the the wheel, This can be caused by a lot of imbalance that adds up. example. your weight location is not exactly at 12oclock, you entered a 7.5 inch wide wheel and it is actually 7.0 wide the weights you are using might be out of spec. these little things alone are not enough to through the balance off on the check spin but when you add them together it can create a residual imbalance. on the check spin the imbalance will show up on the static display press the static button and apply a stick weight to eliminate the residual imbalance.

Static balance is really only needed if it is over .25. This balancer will not only measure the dynamic imbalance (wobble) it also measures for static imbalance (hop). If it is over .25 simply hit the dynamic/static button and where the inboard laser is at is where you would put a tape weight at in the middle of the wheel.

Yep that’s normal, I’ve seen some wheels that are balanced so well when they are first put together that they require no weights at all

My 2018 CR-V had one tire with no weights and drove smooth at 90 mph. Just today I mounted 4 new tires, and the shop used this exact machine. They used the cone on the outside with the laser, one tire at 3.25 oz all others below 2.0 oz and no shake at 90 mph. They did good!
