The control panel with dual display and three dimensional graphics is designed to be user-friendly. Thanks to the body's front inclination and a central unit shifted towards the operator, inner wheel visibility and access have been improved to facilitate the application of balancing counter-weights. The standard outer sensor, the variable balancing speed and the automatic weight application position search ensure speed and precision; like the vast software package complete with Alu-P, OPT Flash, three separate working environments, along with Shift Plane, Hidden Weight and Split Weight programs.

QUALITY TWO POST AUTOMATIC LIFT “Q12”

Standard 3 stage Arms - increases overall arm positioning to precisely lift variety of different wheel base vehicles that have unibody construction and/or provided pick-up points on the vehicle thus giving symetric or asymetric lifting capability. Low-Profile Arms squeeze under the lowest compact and sport vehicles.

TIRE SAFETY TIPS

• Tire Damage : Inspect your tires frequently for uneven wear, scrapes, bulges, separations, cuts, snags and other damage from road hazards. Damage from impact can occur to the inner part of your tire without being visible to the outside. If you have any doubt that your tire may have been damaged from hitting a pothole, curb or debris on the road, tires must be removed from the wheel and inspected for damage by a profession. Uneven wear can lead to internal damage or separation.
   
• Tire Load-Carrying Capability : The load carrying capacity of the replacement tire must always equal or exceed the load carrying capacity of the original equipment tire. Tires that are loaded in excess of allowable maximum will build up heat to cause sudden destruction of tire.

• Speed Rating : When replacing tires, consult the placard or the owner’s manual for correct size and speed rating. The speed rating of the replacement tires must be equal to or greater than the speed rating of the tire being replaced to maintain the speed capability of the vehicle. Speed ratings do not imply that the vehicle can be safely driven at the maximum speeds for which tire is rated. Serious injury or death may take place if you drive your vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner.

• Tire Mounting : Tire mounting and inflation can be dangerous and shall be done only by specially trained persons using proper tools and procedures. Always refer to the Rubber Manufacturers Association mounting procedure and have your dealer mount your tires on rims. Serious physical injury or death may result from explosion of tire / rim assembly due to improper mounting. A tire bead diameter must always match the diameter of the rim on which it is being mounted. When inflating /dismounting RV tires, approved OSHA safety cases must be used. Never stand, lean or reach over the assembly while inflating tires.
   
• Tire Balancing : Technically, the definition of balance is the uniform distribution of mass about an axis of rotation, with the center of gravity being in the same location as the center of rotation. The definition of a balanced tire is one where the mass of the tire, when mounted on it’s wheel and the car's axle, is uniformly distributed around the axle (it’s center of rotation). Balanced tires can mean the difference between a positive and negative driving experience. In high performance vehicles drivers are more sensitive to imbalanced tires, but they can be a problem for any driver in any car.
   
• Front and Rear Tire Matching : Remember, correct matching of front and rear tires is important to obtain optimum performance and handling.
   
• Tire Repair : Make sure any repair shall be done by a specially trained person who knows proper repair and inspection procedure. Never repair tires worn below the treadwear indicators (2/32nds of an inch of tread remaining depth). Punctures through the tread can be repaired if they are not too large, but punctures to the sidewall should not be repaired at any time. Tire’s internal structural damage may occur during the service, even if a tire was properly repaired. Even properly repaired tires often have to be removed from service because the repaired damage later develops into a more extensive damage.
   
• Irregular Tire Wear : Due to their circular design, tires should have even wear on contact areas. However, in reality, irregular tire wear is common.
  Uneven wear shortens tread life and can cause abnormal shaking in the vehicle. Causes of irregular wear include driving style, poorly serviced vehicle, incorrect air pressure and lax tire rotation among others.  
   
• Tire Rotation : Even wear on all tires eliminates the need for tire rotation. However, when irregular wear is detected, tires must immediately be rotated. To prevent such uneven wear in advance, switching the location of tires is recommended every 10,000km.
  In the case of snow tires which use spike pins, care must be taken not to change the rotational direction of the tires as the failure to do so may result in the loss of spikes.
   
• Tread Wear Indicator : Tires have built-in tread wear indicators which mark the minimum allowable tread depth. The indicators are 4~6 small raised bars which run across the grooves of the tire tread and are 1.6mm in height. Made to be clearly visible to consumers, the mark in the shoulder area also helps to pinpoint the location of the indicators. When measuring tread depth, one should avoid the area with the indicators.
  Tires with worn out treads lack the ability to channel water, creating extremely dangerous situations such as slipping or hydroplaning on wet roads. Tire blow outs also increase in frequency.
