Do not touch the adhesive surface of the counterweight before applying to the rim and never reuse
counterweights or use weights with no protective paper, as these may detach while driving.
After replacing a tyre, wheel rim, or both, the wheel must be statically and dynamically balanced using a
balancing machine and suitable counterweights.
Manufacturers identify the heaviest part of the wheel rim and the tyre with a reference mark. When mounting
the tyre onto the rim, always set these reference marks opposite each other to minimise the amount of
counterweights necessary for balancing.
The counterweights must be applied in position
(A) on the inner edge of the wheel rim, in
position (B), or in both positions if necessary.
Thoroughly clean the wheel rim surface onto
which the counterweight will be applied with
heptane.
Remove the protective backing and affix the
counterweight onto the wheel rim, pressing
evenly to ensure that it adheres perfectly.
