The unboxing timelapse was awesome!

Thanks for watching !

Iv had mine for 3 years with no problems. I really like it a lot. Whenever I have a question I get in touch with their customer support and they help me. I use a 15” with a tire. I put the parameters first and then I go to calibration mode. For the money you can’t beat it. The instructions suck but it’s not difficult to figure it out. Nice video though. Really appreciate it. Thanks

Could I please get the number for customer support because the guy that I bought mine from Justin at Mayflower refuses to help. Thank in advance.

Cool good timing!!!

[@bustedstudgarage]

Thanks, the unboxing sequence is noteworthy!

[@philburke1902]

The instructions call for a 15" wheel with tire?

[@bustedstudgarage]

For calibration use 13" to 18" steel wheel without tire. Thanks for watching !

[@remital6834]

I believe the 15" steel wheel and mounted tire for calibration is for the Mayflower balancer

[@bustedstudgarage]

The manual seems to indicate wheel only, but its poorly translated so who knows. Thanks for watching !@@remital6834

[@MamedovMuhammet]

Hi, new device, when should the balancer be calibrated

[@bustedstudgarage]

Good question. I recommend a calibration at your initial startup. After that its easy to do so any time you might question the accuracy then do it again to be sure.

[@popatop6657]

Bought a combo tire machine and balancer The tire machine is excellent and I would buy again and recommend. The balancer is a TOTAL pile of inaccurate junk! Balance the tire and take it off and recheck the balance again or just loosen the spindle nut and re clock the wheel on the spindle and check balance again and it will no longer say zero. I called Justin at Mayflower ( same machine as yours just a different name) he is the guy that sold it to me on EBAY and he says the machine is working like it should and I need to quit rechecking balance because it is supposed to work that way. I don't think he understands much about his machines or how things work. Please give this a fair test by double and triple checking and let us know.

[@bustedstudgarage]

Sorry you had a bad experience. I agree with you about Justin at Mayflower, the machine should repeat to zero when the wheel is re-checked. Ours had that issue before we calibrated, then it was ok after calibration. I think we will try your scenario when we do a full review in the future. Thanks for watching !

[@popatop6657]

Thanks for your reply and not only do I hope that your machine checks good but I also hope I get to a notification when your video comes out.@@bustedstudgarage

I have a atlas wb 11 tire machine. When I zero out tire and wheel with weights and re clock it 180 degrees it shows it needs 1/4 oz more weight , this is after calibrating it. I assume its normal. ....At first I was chasing weights but after calibration it zeroed out easily.

[@bustedstudgarage]

I think that's quite good. According to Hunter who makes the Road Force machines 1/4 oz is acceptable.@@stephenmiley5804

[@remital6834]

I bought the Mayflower combo as well. I seem to have my balancer working pretty good (as far as I know...because the machine says it's balanced but is it?). I am able to repeat and get the same results. Once I bolted the unit to the concrete and got comfortable with chucking up the wheels my results are more consistent. I also balanced a wheel on the Mayflower, brought it over to Mavis for a balance and it was 1/2 oz off on the inside, according to their Coats machine, I asked them to check it on their other balancer and it zeroed out. I asked a lot of questions and I have gotten mixed information. They told me never do a Self Calibration, just a Factory Calibration. Very contradicting to the manual.

[@davidworth7621]

Great instruction video. Thanks. Could you do a video describing how to use the ALU function? Could you do a video describing how to use the OPT (optimization) function?

[@bustedstudgarage]

Thanks for the comment, those are great ideas! I think we will find time to do those videos. Thanks for watching!

[@BiancaJackson-dm8hp]

Can you set the balancer to put the wheel weight in the inside only??

[@bustedstudgarage]

Yes that's the ALU2 mode. Thanks for watching!

[@RanchoTomate]

@BiancaJackson-dm8hp If you want only one weight on the inside you can use the static mode. That's how I do motorcycle wheels.

[@foxyrobthepirate5832]

Would you happen to know the dimensions. Trying make sure have room for it lol

[@bustedstudgarage]

Height is 37 inches, depth is 24 inches, width is 47 inches and you need to add some space on that to get the wheel on and off. Good luck with your projects!

[@danielashbaugh9462]

Why can't you use any 3.50 wheel weight for calibration, or can you.

[@bustedstudgarage]

Good question. It would probably work ok, I was going by what the manual says to do. 3.50oz is equal to 99.2g so its a bit off. Maybe within tolerance, I don't know. The thing is from China so is probably designed with metric units as the basis for calibration. Thanks for watching !

[@danielashbaugh9462]

@@bustedstudgarage Yeah, that is what I thought I ordered so 3.50 oz weights look almost like the one you get with hope they work, I broke mine thank you for the reply.

[@daltonstussy81]

My SMB 690 tire machine won’t calibrate I just get a error -8 code instead of calibration end

[@bustedstudgarage]

Start with a wheel that has no weights on it. Here's a link to calibration video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3nRaJl_q6mtfs0

[@alberthuynh]

Anyone ever run into Err -8- during calibration? Cant seem to get my machine calibrated
