Wheel care
Procedure
After determining how much weight must be applied, and at which position, the spots must be cleaned thoroughly and be completely free from dust & grease. Use silicon remover or other appropriate cleaner. The temperature for sticking adhesive weights to wheels must be above 10° Celsius.
The weights must be applied with some pressure against the small hump at the designated areas. Hofmann weights with blue tape (type 551-5) have a relatively low "initial glue force". The weight can be relocated immediately after sticking when balancing. The glue will reach its maximum holding force after 24 hours at room temperature.
At the closed side (picture left above) only Hofmann type 551 of 50, 75 & 100 grams can be used (picture right above). If more than 100 grams are needed at this side the weights should be put behind each other.
The open side (picture left above) allows the use of Hofmann 551 types ranging from 50 to 225 grams (picture right above)
DON'T
- Do not use 125 to 225 gram weights on the closed side: the width of these weights exceeds the surface where it can be applied on this side.
- Do not use 250 and 300 gram weights at all: they are too wide for the closed side and too high for the open side. They may foul brake parts. Alternatively use more weights of smaller sizes.
- Do not apply any adhesive weights in other areas than designated as they may cause a foul condition.
