Note. Balance the wheels first on the outside and then on the inside. Be careful not to scratch the wheels.
Adhesive balancing weight (external)
Remove the old wheel balance weight.
Remove the double-sided adhesive tape remaining on the wheel, then clean and degrease the contact pad.
Install the wheel on the wheel balancer, measure the amount and position of the unbalance in the normal balance weight mode.
Pic. 4.7. Scheme of installation of a balancing weight
Multiply the unbalance value by 1.6 to get the balance weight value (pic. 4.7).
Select the balance weight closest in weight, set the balance weight to (outside), specified by the wheel balancing machine.
An example of calculating the mass of a load for a given unbalance value:
23 g * 1.6 = 36.8 g.
Required cargo weight: 35 g.
Note. Use a weight close to the calculated value.
Example: 32.4 g = 30 g; 32.5 g = 35 g.
Note. Use original counterweight or equivalent (steel).
Note. When installing the balancing weight, press it for 2 s with a force of 25 N for every 5 g.
Pic. 4.8. Scheme of installation of two balancing weights
When installing two weights, place them so that they are located on both sides of the rim in the position indicated by the wheel balancer (pic. 4.8).
Attention!
- - Do not stack loads in a row.
- - Do not stack weights on top of each other.
- - The total weight must not exceed 160 g.
Installation of conventional weight (internal)
Measure the unbalance on the wheel balancer.
Pic. 4.9. Scheme of installation of a conventional balancing weight
Set the weight corresponding to the measured unbalance value to the position (on the inside of the rim), specified by the wheel balancing machine (pic. 4.9).
Attention!
- - Do not install more than three weights.
- - The mass of one load should not exceed 60 g.
- - The total weight of the two loads must not exceed 100 g.
Checking the amount of residual unbalance
After mounting the outer and inner weights, turn on the wheel balancer again.
Make sure that the residual unbalance on both sides does not exceed the values given below.
If the residual imbalance exceeds 10 g (16 inch wheel) or 9 g (17 inch wheel), balance the wheels again.
