The Daytona BL-917 dynamic wheel balancer handles car and light truck wheels up to 35 inches and 143 lb. Balancing accuracy is 1 g, and a cycle takes 10 seconds.
Wheel dimensions are entered by hand before each spin. The standard kit does not include a hood; shops that want one included can consider the BL-950. Browse our wheel balancer lineup for other capacities and controls.
Features
Calibration and sensor checks on board
The controls include sensor diagnosis and self calibration. An IN TES check tests the photocell and STA/DYN sensor; recalibration after long idle time or inaccurate results calls for a 100 g weight clipped at 12 o'clock.
A 6.5 inch shaft and four cones
The 36 mm diameter shaft extends 6.5 inches for wheel mounting. Four centering cones cover bores from 1-3/4 to 6-1/8 inches, and a speed nut holds the centered wheel.
Choose among three alloy weight layouts
AL1 places weights at the rim shoulders, AL2 hides the outer weight inside, and AL3 pairs an inner clip weight with the AL2 outer position. These positions let the operator select a layout that suits the alloy rim.
Position a wheel from either face
Positive positioning centers common steel or lightly deformed alloy rims with the mounting face inward. Negative positioning places the cone behind a wheel whose outside face is deformed, locating the steel rim by its center hole.
Inspect a correction below 5 g
An imbalance smaller than the standard 5 g weight displays as 00. The high accuracy key reveals the inner or outer residual value under 5 g, with maximum residual imbalance of 4 g.
Enter three wheel measurements
Pull the scale to the inner weight position for distance, measure width with the caliper, and key in rim diameter. Those inputs set the balancing geometry before the BL-917 spins.
Best For
Independent garages
Daily car and light truck work in an independent garage draws on the four-cone mounting set and alloy modes as wheel designs change across appointments.
Tire centers
A tire center handling a run of car and light truck wheels can use the short spin cycle for routine work and on-board checks when readings need investigation.
Versatile service bays
A versatile service bay can balance car wheels through static or dynamic modes and add occasional motorcycle jobs with MOT, once the optional MJ-II adaptor and extension scale are on hand.

Installation Requirements
Grounded 120V supply
Provide 120V, single phase, 60 Hz power for a 1/6 HP, 5 A machine. The connection needs a grounded socket, fuse and 30 mA leakage breaker, with electrical work done by qualified personnel.
Clearance on three sides
Plan a 44 by 50 inch floor area with 68 inches of height for the BL-917. Keep more than 600 mm, about 24 inches, open on both sides and behind the balancer.
Solid floor, dry indoor location
Use a flat, solid floor able to carry the machine and its maximum wheel load. The location must have no risk of dripping water; operating conditions are 32 to 122 degrees F and 30 to 80% relative humidity.

Call (855) 498-2147Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Daytona BL-917 run without a hood?
Without a hood, the operator starts a spin with the control panel's start key. The optional hood can be fitted to the machine. Once it is fitted, the program setup's protective cover on or off setting controls whether lowering it starts a spin.
What does motorcycle work require on the Daytona BL-917?
Motorcycle mode requires the optional MJ-II adaptor, which is not part of the standard kit. Measure the mounted wheel with the extension scale and key in the values as you would for a car wheel.
What if the center bore exceeds the Daytona BL-917 cones?
A larger center bore may require the optional large cone or flange disk. The flange disk provides a mounting method for big tire assemblies.
What is the difference between static and dynamic balancing on the Daytona BL-917?
On the Daytona BL-917, dynamic (DYN) mode uses clip-on weights at the inner and outer rim flanges, while static (ST) mode uses one stick-on weight in the rim center. The machine starts in standard dynamic mode, indicated by no mode light being lit.
Can the Daytona BL-917 show ounces instead of grams?
Yes. The imbalance display can use grams or ounces, while rim width and diameter can be entered in inches or millimeters. The APP setting chooses 1 g or 5 g rounding, and the beeper can be switched off.
