Caution
a) Do not use more than two balance weights
on the inner or outer side of the wheel, if
the total weight exceeds 100 g (3.5 oz), re-
balance after moving the tire around on the
rim.
b) Attach the balance weights tightly so that
they do not protrude more than 3 mm (0.12
in) beyond the wheel edge.
c) Select suitable balance weights for steel or
aluminum alloy wheels.
d)Do not use an on-car balancer on ATX
models. Use of this type of balancer may
cause clutch damage.
