Inspection of wheel balance and balancing the
wheel (using automatic wheel balancing machine)
Alternatively, in lieu of the manual procedure, the
l
unbalance in the wheel may be checked and
balancing of the wheel may be done using an
a u t o m a t i c w h e e l b a l a n c i n g m a c h i n e . F o r
instructions, please refer to the User's manual of the
automatic wheel balancing machine.
After checking, fix the balancing weights
l
permanently to the wheel rim by referring the
procedure given in the previous page.
After the balancing procedure is completed using an
l
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:
As the balancing weight is of "Stick-on" type, it may
l
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.
