Affixing the adhesive weights
NOTE:
- Remove the protective film only immediately prior to sticking on the weight, as prolonged exposure to the air will reduce the bonding strength!
- Pay attention to cleanliness!
- Determine exact position of the balancing weights (if necessary, provisionally stick on the balancing weights with a strip of adhesive tape until the correct position is determined).
- Prepare bonding surface on the rim. The bonding surface must be perfectly clean and free of grease.
- Remove protective paper from the bonding surface of the weight and press the weight firmly into place.
- The adhesive weight must be in contact uniformly over the entire surface.
- Check to ensure that the balancing weight is seated firmly. It must not be possible to detach the weight that was just stuck onto the rim by the application of a shear load at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the weight.
