c. If calculated balance weight value exceeds 50 g (1.76 oz), install
two balance weight sheets in line with each other as shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not install one balance weight sheet on top of another.
3. Start the tire balance machine again.
4. Install drive-in balance weight on inner side of road wheel in the
tire balance machine indication position (angle).
CAUTION:
Do not install more than two balance weight.
5. Start the tire balance machine. Make sure that inner and outer
residual unbalance values are 5 g (0.17 oz) each or below.
6. If either residual unbalance value exceeds 5 g (0.17 oz), repeat installation procedures.
TIRE ROTATION
Follow the maintenance schedule for tire rotation service intervals.
Refer to MA-5, "
General Maintenance".
When installing the wheel, tighten wheel nuts to the specified
torque.
CAUTION:
When installing wheels, tighten them diagonally by dividing
the work two to three times in order to prevent the wheels
from developing any distortion.
Be careful not to tighten wheel nut at torque exceeding the
criteria for preventing strain of disc rotor.
Use NISSAN genuine wheel nuts for aluminum wheels.

PRECAUTIONS
Be certain that the gauge face indicates HFC-134a or R-134a. Be
sure the gauge set has 1/2″-16 ACME threaded connections for ser-
vice hoses. Confirm the set has been used only with refrigerant
HFC-134a (R-134a) and specified lubricants.
SERVICE HOSES
Be certain that the service hoses display the markings described
(colored hose with black stripe). All hoses must equip positive shut-
off devices (either manual or automatic) near the end of the hoses
opposite to the manifold gauge.
SERVICE COUPLERS
Never attempt to connect HFC-134a (R-134a) service couplers to a
CFC-12 (R-12) A/C system. The HFC-134a (R-134a) couplers do
not properly connect to the CFC-12 (R-12) system. However, if an
improper connection is attempted, discharging and contamination
may occur.
REFRIGERANT WEIGHT SCALE
Verify that no refrigerant other than HFC-134a (R-134a) and speci-
fied lubricants have been used with the scale. The hose fitting must
be 1/2″-16 ACME if the scale controls refrigerant flow electronically.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALE
Calibrate the scale each three month.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4:
1. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.
2. Press “8787”. “A1” is displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press “0”, then press “Enter”. “0.00” is displayed and change to “A2”.

5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between 4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb.) on the center
of the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb. = 10.00, 10.5 lb. = 10.50)
7. Press “Enter”— the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. Press “Shift/Reset” and “Enter” at the same time.
9. Press “6”— the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. “0.00” is displayed.
11. Press “Shift/Reset” to return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDER
Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be vented into air from cylinder’s top valve
when filling the cylinder with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less than that of an
electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge equipment.

Separate and non-interchangeable service equipment must be used for handling each type of refrigerant/
lubricant.
Refrigerant container fittings, service hose fittings and service equipment fittings (equipment which handles
refrigerant and/or lubricant) are different between CFC-12 (R-12) and HFC-134a (R-134a). This is to avoid
mixed use of the refrigerants/lubricant.
Never use adapters that convert one size fitting to another: refrigerant/lubricant contamination occurs and
compressor malfunction may result.

ROAD WHEEL TIRE ASSEMBLY

BALANCING WHEELS (BONDING WEIGHT TYPE)
Preparation Before Adjustment
Using releasing agent, remove double-faced adhesive tape from the road wheel.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to scratch the road wheel during removal.
After removing double-faced adhesive tape, wipe clean traces of releasing agent from the road
wheel.
Wheel Balance Adjustment
If a tire balance machine has adhesion balance weight mode settings and drive-in weight mode setting, select
and adjust a drive-in weight mode suitable for road wheels.
1. Set road wheel on tire balance machine using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance machine.
2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the tire balance machine indicator, multiply outer
unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight
with a value closest to the calculated value above and install to the designated outer position of, or at the
designated angle in relation to the road wheel.
CAUTION:
Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
a. Indicated unbalance value × 5/3 = balance weight to be installed
Calculation example:
23 g (0.81 oz) × 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz) bal-
ance weight (closer to calculated balance weight value)
NOTE:
Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated
balance weight value.
Example:
36.2 ⇒ 35 g (1.23 oz)
36.3 ⇒ 37.5 g (1.32 oz)
b. Installed balance weight in the position.
