Inspection of wheel balance and balancing the
wheel (using automatic wheel balancing
machine)
l
Alternatively, in lieu of the manual procedure,
the unbalance in the wheel may be checked
and balancing of the wheel may be done using
an automatic wheel balancing machine. For
instructions, please refer to the User’s manual
of the automatic wheel balancing machine.
l
After checking, fix the balancing weights
permanently to the wheel rim by referring the
procedure given in the previous page.
l
After the balancing procedure is completed
using an automatic wheel balancing machine,
the wheel may be deemed to be balanced if
the permissible residual unbalance (Uper) in
the wheel assembly is less than 2122 g-mm (in
front wheel) and 2117 g-mm (in rear wheel), for
balance quality grade G40 as per the method of
unbalance measurement specified in ISO
1940-1:2003.
Note:
The sum total of all balancing weights
fixed on a single wheel rim shall not exceed
60 g in front wheel and 70 g in rear wheel,
irrespective of the procedure used for
balancing (manual or automatic).
Use genuine TVS-M approved Balancing
weights only (refer Table 1).
Removal (uninstallation) of balancing weight
from wheel rim:
l
As the balancing weight is of “Stick-on” type, it
may be removed from the wheel rim by
application of sufficient force by hand. Do not
use sharp objects to remove the balancing
weight, as it may damage the wheel rim
surface. After removal, clean the location on
the wheel rim from where the balancing
weight was removed, with IP 80% solution
(cleaning agent) before fixing any more
balancing weights.
Caution:
Vehicle with unbalanced wheels are
unsafe to ride. Ensure that the balancing
weights are not loosely fixed on the
wheels.
