Counter Weight Installation

Things to Know

The counter weights 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 counter weights used, the more weight (penetration) will be applied to the vehicle surface
during operation. Below are examples of typical configurations.
Counter Weight Configuration

Use the following charts to determine the proper counter weight configuration to suite your washing
preference.

Be aware of the pivoting arms. Either block and 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 Counter Weight Configuration Chart to determine the amount of weight required to
balance your Top Wheel, and the bolts required to hold the weights in place.
