Counterweight Installation
Things to Know
The counterweights are used to off-set the weight of the cleaning material and the
motor/gearbox assembly. Since the motor/gearbox assembly is typically on the driver side, there
will be more weights added to that side to prevent torque motion during operation or when
making contact with the positive stops.
The fewer counterweights used, the more weight (penetration) will be applied to the vehicle
surface during operation. Below are examples of typical configurations.
Counterweight Configuration
Use the following charts to determine the proper counterweight configuration to suit your
washing preference.

CAUTION
–
BE AWARE OF THE PIVOTING ARMS. EITHER BLOCK OR CLAMP
THE PIVOTING SECTION IN PLACE OR HAVE SOMEONE ASSIST IN KEEPING IT
IN PLACE UNTIL THE WEIGHTS HAVE BEEN BOLTED DOWN!
1) Locate the 2-piece weight covers and the 6 plastic clips.
2) Use the Counterweight Configuration Chart to determine the amount of weight required to
balance your Top Wheel, and the bolts required to hold the weights in place.
Note:
It is imperative to maintain the vehicle washing weight of the Top Wheel. Use the
weighing instructions in the Startup section with the supplied fish scale
periodically to check your wheel penetration. Adjust counterweights as necessary
to stay within 18-25 lbs. (8.2 – 11.3 kg) of penetration.
