Counter weights

I recently purchased a Skywatcher EQ3 mount which came with 2 counter weights (3.4 & 1.8 Kg), do I need to fit both counter weights or can I use either one as long as I can achieve balance with all accessories attached.
I have read the assembly manual but all it says is to fit counter weights, it's a bit vague.
At the moment I have the 3.4Kg weight attached and the telescope is balanced ok. Can someone more experienced shed some light on this please?
