Adhesive-type Balance Weight (Outer)

1. Remove the old balance weight from the wheel.

2. Remove the double-sided adhesive tape remaining on the wheel, then clean and degrease the bonding area.

3. Set the wheel on a wheel balancer, measure the amount of unbalance and the position with the mode set for

knock-type balance weight.

4. Multiply the amount of unbalance by 1.6 to get the balance weight value.

5. Select a balance weight closest to the weight

value and attach the balance weight on the

position (outer) indicated by the wheel balancer.

Example calculation of balance weight value

Indicated amount of unbalance: 23 g

23 g {0.81 oz}×1.6 = 36.8 g {1.30 oz}

Selected balance weight value: 35 g

• When selecting a balance weight, select one

closest to the calculated value.

Example: 32.4 g {1.14 oz}= 30 g {1.06 oz}, 32.5 g {1.15 oz}= 35 g {1.24 oz}

• Use a genuine balance weight or equivalent (steel).

• When attaching the weight balance, press the balance weight with a force of 25 N {2.5 kgf, 5.5 lbf}

per 5 g for 2 seconds or more.
