WHEEL AND TYRE -Troubleshooting31-5
DIf the imbalance is 5 g or less, the zero
calibration is OK. Rebalance the wheel, then
go to Step 4 to check static balance.
DIf the imbalance is more than 5 g, go to Step
3.
3. Loosen the balancer wing nut, rotate the wheel
1/4 turn (90
°), and retighten the nut. Recheck
the wheel balance.
DIf the imbalance is 5 g or less, the wheel may
not be centered on the balancer, or the
balancing cones, the cup, and/or wing nut are
damaged, dirty, or inappropriate for the wheel.
You may need to refer to the balancer
manufacturer’s instructions to verify the correct
attachments. after making the necessary
corrections, recheck the wheel balance. If OK,
then go to Step 4.
DIf the imbalance is more than 5 g, the balancer
requires calibration. Contact the balancer
manufacturer for calibration by their repair
representative.
4.
Attach a 5-g weight to the outer rim. Recheck
the balancer. The balancer should detect 5
±2
g of imbalance 170
°to 190
°away from both the
inner and outer 5-g weights.DIf the imbalance is within specification, the static
balance calibration is correct. Go to Step 5
to check the dynamic balance.
DIf the imbalance is out of specification, the
balancer requires calibration. Contact the
balancer manufacturer for calibration by their
repair representative.
5.
Attach a 5-g weight to the inner rim at 180
°
opposite the 5-g weight that was added in step
4. Recheck the balance. The balancer should
detect 5
