You got it Don
1. place tire with tube & flap installed (along with a bit of air to hold in place) on the balancer mark the heavy spot and the amount of weight required at the bead area to bring to balance
2. check each wheel for run out (easy way is to mount on hub) discard any bent or really bad wheels mark the straightest for front wheel use
3. check weight required to bring each bare wheel (with lock ring installed) into balance as you did with each tire - mark heavy spot and amount of weight required
4. no brainer - match & mount
5. then put mounted assembly on balancer and
balance
the balancer you have is a neat unit
