How to Set Up and Use the Elite Wireless Digital Scales

1. Prepare the Kart

1. Place the kart on a level floor.
2. Fill the fuel tank to your normal practice amount.
3. Install the seat, battery, bodywork, and anything else you normally race with.
4. Set tire pressures to your normal starting pressures.
5. Make sure nothing touches the ground except the tires.
6. Remove or adjust anything that might rub on the scales, such as a low chain guard.

2. Prepare the Scales

1. Turn on all four wireless pads.
2. Confirm that each pad connects to the display.
3. Place each pad on the floor in a neat rectangle matching your wheel spacing.
4. Make sure every pad sits flat and does not rock.
5. Zero all pads so they read 0.00 before placing the kart on them.

3. Position the Kart on the Scales

1. Lift the kart and center each wheel on its pad.
2. Check that no part of the chassis is touching the floor or frame of the scales.
3. Point the steering wheel straight ahead.
4. If you scale with the driver in the seat, have the driver sit in a normal driving position with feet in the pedals and back fully in the seat.

4. Read the Weights

The display will show:

• Left front (LF) weight
• Right front (RF) weight
• Left rear (LR) weight
• Right rear (RR) weight
• Total kart weight
• Front percentage
• Rear percentage
• Left percentage
• Right percentage
• Cross weight percentage

Typical LO206 Baseline Targets

• Front: 42 to 44 percent
• Rear: 56 to 58 percent
• Left: 49 to 51 percent
• Right: within one percent of left
• Cross: 49 to 51 percent

5. Adjusting the Kart

Most balance changes are made with seat position and sometimes track widths.

Adjust Front to Rear Weight

• Move the seat forward to increase front weight.
• Move the seat rearward to increase rear weight.

Adjust Left to Right Weight

• Move the seat slightly to the left to add left side weight.
• Move the seat slightly to the right to add right side weight.
• Check steering column spacers and side pod hardware if the kart is not sitting square.

Adjust Cross Weight

Cross weight affects balance through corner entry and mid corner.

• Moving the seat forward usually increases cross.
• Moving the seat rearward usually reduces cross.
• Moving the seat to the left usually increases cross.
• Moving the seat to the right usually reduces cross.

Make small changes. Even a seat movement of one eighth of an inch can change percentages.

6. Recheck After Changes

1. Rezero the scales if needed.
2. Place the kart back on all four pads with the same driver position.
3. Confirm the new front, rear, left, right, and cross percentages.
4. Repeat adjustments until you reach your target numbers.

7. Final Race Check

1. Recheck tire pressures before going on track.
2. Make sure the fuel level matches what you used on the scales.
3. Confirm nothing is touching the ground or pads.
4. Use driver feedback from the first session to decide if you need small follow up changes.
