2. Temporarily fix a 10 gram (5 gram each on both
the side) balancing weight on the wheel rim
near the ‘Q’ marked area, using a temporary
a d h e s i v e t a p e ( w i t h o u t r e m o v i n g t h e
protective cover on the balancing weight).
3. Hold the wheel by hand and rotate it ¼ turn
downwards (angle ‘L’ indicated in the figure)
and leave. (Fig. 2.133) When the wheel is left,
if the wheel does not rotate further (’up’ or
‘down’), it may be concluded that the wheel is
balanced. If the wheel rotates ‘up’ or ‘down’,
then the wheel needs to be balanced further.
4. If the wheel rotates and the weight goes up,
replace the weight with next heavier size by
referring Table 1. Further, if the wheel rotates
and the weight goes down, replace the weight
with the next lighter size from the Table 1.
5. Repeat the steps 3 & 4 till the wheel remains at
rest after being rotated ¼ turn.
6. For final confirmation, rotate the wheel further
¼ turn (by hand) and yet again another ¼ turn.
In both the cases, if the wheel comes to a rest
after ¼ turn rotation, it may be concluded that
the wheel is balanced.
After final confirmation, the balancing weight
must be fixed permanently at the locations
decided earlier. Follow the procedure given below
for fixing the weight permanently.
1. Remove the temporarily fixed balancing
weights and clean the wheel rim surface with
IP 80% solution (cleaning agent) at the
designated location where the balancing
weight needs to be fixed again.
2. Remove (peel off ) the protective cover on the
back side of the balancing weight as shown.
(Fig. 2.134)
3. Stick the balancing weight at the cleaned
location on the wheel rim with a minimum
2
pressure of 1 kg/cm and hold for 3 Sec (min).
