REPAIR WHEEL BALANCING
CAUTION: It is essential that all wheel
balancing is carried out off the vehicle.
The use of on the vehicle balancing could
cause component damage or personal injury and
MUST NOT be attempted.
NOTE: Before attempting to balance a
wheel and tyre assembly clean all mud and
dirt deposits from both inside and outside
rims and remove existing balance weights.
Remove stones from the tyre tread in order to avoid
operator injury during dynamic balancing and to obtain
the correct balance.
Inspect tyres for damage and correct tyre pressures
and balance according to the equipment
manufacturer's instructions.
Alloy wheels
Clean area of wheel rim and attach adhesive balance
weights in position shown. Cut through rear face of
weight strip to detach required weights.
CAUTION: Use only correct adhesive
balance weights to avoid damage to

REPAIR Static balance
Wheel tramp
A. Heavy spot.
B. Add balance weights here.
C. Centre line of spindle.
Static balance is the equal distribution of weight
around the wheel. A statically unbalanced wheel will
cause a bouncing action called wheel tramp. This
condition will eventually cause uneven tyre wear.Dynamic balance
Wheel shimmyA. Heavy spot.
B. Add balance weights here.
C. Centre line of spindle.
Dynamic balance is the equal distribution of weight on
each side of the centre line so that when the wheel
spins there is no tendency for side to side movement.
A dynamically unbalanced wheel will cause wheel
shimmy.
