balancing weight


Explanation:
If the blower fan is wobbling it needs to be balanced. I am quite sure that this is the case.

Using a piece of tape, temporarily secure one of the kit's self-adhesive weights to the top of the blade's centerline

Peel off the backing and stick the adhesive-backed balancing weight on the top center of the blade directly in line with the balancing clip. Add more weight if needed to get a smooth-running fan.

neutral  chris collister: Well, maybe... But a balance mass of just over 3/4 kg for a fan? I don't think so. A counterweight for a piston, maybe...
