Throw In Method
Eco applications of 4oz and up can conveniently be thrown inside the tire during the mounting process. Simply open the outside bag and remove the clear bag containing the beads and place it in the tire cavity. Once the wheel begins to roll, the bag will break on its own and allow the beads to disperse inside the tire. For applications 3oz and under we recommend pouring the beads into the tire, installing through the valve stem if there is no TPMS or tear the bag before placing it inside the tire.
It is highly recommended by the manufacturer of Eco Balance to use an appropriate tire mounting compound. The preferred choice is a paste formula, specifically identified by Part# ECO-EP8.
Disclaimer: The manufacturer of Eco Balance disclaims any responsibility if the tire is improperly mounted, damaged, or if any sort of soap/water formula or non-approved tire mounting formula is used for mounting the tire.
Please note: The Injection Bottle and Injection Pump Installation Methods below are only applicable to
Eco Balance Beads and are NOT compatible with Eco XL Balance Beads.
Injection Bottle Method
Step 1
Cut the bottle spout above the mark.
Step 2
Remove the bottle cap and carefully pour the beads into the bottle. Attach the clear tube to the bottle cap spout.
Step 3
Rotate the wheel so the valve stem is at the bottom, deflate the tire by removing the valve core and then place one end of the clear tube over the valve stem.
Step 4
Invert the bottle and squeeze repeatedly to get all the Eco Balancing Beads to flow down the clear tube into your tire.
Note: Occasionally it is difficult for the beads to move through the valve stem, particularly if the stem is narrow, or a 90 degree type stem. In those cases, it is suggested that some type of mechanical vibrating device such as a handheld engraver be held next to the stem. The tiny vibrations will help encourage the beads to travel through the stem into the tire.
Step 5
Use the airline to clear the valve stem and then screw the valve core into the valve stem.
Step 6
Re-inflate the tire to the
manufacturers’ recommended pressure.
Step 7
Screw the supplied valve cap on.

Injection Pump Method
The Injection Pump Method is suited for any size application. It requires the Counteract Injection Pump, part# CBB-IP and an airline. This is the quickest method and doesn’t require the tire to be dismounted.

STEP BY STEP
Step 2
Unscrew the silver cap nut and remove the black top plate. Inspect for cracking, chips and damages. Ensure the cap nut thread is free of cross threading and damage.
Note: The black top plate may be under pressure, be cautious and lift
carefully to remove.
Step 3
Open your desired amount of Counteract Balancing Beads and carefully pour them into the clear reservoir. Once you have finished pouring the beads, make sure none are on the edge of the reservoir and that the thread is clear of debris. Proceed to press the black top plate on the pump and secure it with the silver cap nut. Finger tight is all that is needed.
Step 4
Ensure your valve is either at the
12 o’clock or 6 o’clock position. Remove valve core from the tire’s valve stem. Allow tire to deflate to approximately half of its PSI. Do not deflate fully unless the vehicle is supported by jack stands, relieving any pressure from the wheel.
Note: Make sure that the tire cannot unseat from the wheel itself.
Step 6
When ready, open the air valve to allow dry air into the tire and then begin to rotate the pump upright slowly. Be sure this is done gradually to allow the beads to easily flow out of the pump and into the tire. Be mindful not to over-inflate during this process. Once all the beads are in the tire, shut off the air valve and remove the chuck.
Note: Be mindful when removing the chuck as air will rush from the tire. If possible, once you close the valve, unhook your airline and open the valve again to clear the hose line. Close the valve and remove the chuck.
Step 7
Install your valve core and torque it to the recommended 4-inch pounds. Over-torquing may damage the core, causing an air leak. Proceed to air the tire up to the recommended PSI for your application.
