CAUTION:
Adjust the outer wheel balance first, then the inner wheel balance.
Be careful not to scratch the wheels.
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 obtain 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 {0.81 oz}
23 g {0.81 oz}×1.6 = 36.8 g {1.30 oz}
Selected balance weight value: 35 g {1.24 oz}
NOTE:
When selecting a balance weight, select one closest to the calculated value.
Example: 32.4 g {1.14 oz} = 30 g {1.06 oz}
CAUTION:
Use a genuine balance weight or equivalent (steel).
When attaching the weight, press the weight with a force of 25 N {2.5 kgf, 5.5 lbf} per 5 g for 2 s or more.
6. If attaching two balance weights, position them so that each is on either side of the position indicated by the wheel balancer.
CAUTION:
Do not install three or more weights.
Do not attach weight balances parallel to each other.
Do not overlap the balance weights.
Total weight of all weights is 160 g {5.64 oz} or less.
1. Measure the amount of unbalance with a wheel balancer.
2. Attach a weight corresponding to the measured weight value on the position (inner) indicated by the wheel balancer.
CAUTION:
Do not attach three or more balance weights.
One balance weight is 60 g {2.1 oz} or less and two balance weights are 100 g {3.53 oz} or less.
1. After installing the outer and inner balance weights, operate the wheel balancer again.
2. Confirm that the remaining unbalance does not exceed the following on either side.Specifications
If the remaining unbalance exceeds the specifications, adjust the wheel balance again.
