A - Weights


Weights (A) of 75 kg (165 lb) or 210 kg (465 lb) can be installed inside or outside of wheel. Weights should not be installed on outside of inner wheel when using duals, as this prevents retightening of sleeve bolts. Ballasting is easier if some of the weight is attached to outside of outer dual wheel.

NOTE: When using 1525 mm (60 in.) tread setting, only one 210 kg (465 lb) weight can be installed inside of wheel.

Install weights on wheel. Tighten to specification.

For additional weights, install bolts in previous weight. Rotate to align bolts with available hole.

Retighten after driving 100 m (110 yd), again after 3 Hours and after 10 Hours of operation.
