Tension Wheel on Balancing Machine

NOTE:

Please keep in mind that cleanliness is extremely important when balancing, as it is when performing any other repair work. Only then can a proper result be obtained!

Dirt and rust in the area of the contact surfaces and centering of the wheel distort the result.

-- Clean contact surfaces, centering seat and wheel disc using the :VAS6446 before tensioning wheel on balancing machine! Refer to Workshop Equipment, service information.

NOTE:

It is very important that the wheel balancing machine uses the correct system for centering and tensioning the tires when replacing them. Reference the information for the Wheel Balancing Machine Centering System before beginning any work. Refer to Workshop Equipment, service information.

-- Tension the wheel with the tire on the balancing machine.

With a deviation of 0.1 mm outside the center, there is an imbalance of 10 grams on the wheel/tire.
