TM 9-2320-387-24-l 8-8. TIRE BALANCING (Cont’d) 12. Check wheel (2) and tire (1) for proper balance. If necessary, add weights (6) or replace 6 oz weight (6) with a lighter weight (6), making sure weight clips (7) are centered on light spot (5) and weights (6) are not permanently attached. 13. Repeat step 12 until wheel (2) and tire (1) are properly balanced. 14. Record total amount of weight (6) on wheel (21, and remove weight(s) (6) from wheel (2) and wheel (2) from balancer. NOTE Total amount of weight must be split evenly between inner and outer edges of wheel rim. For example, if 6 oz of total weight was required to balance wheel, attach 3 oz to outer edge of rim and 3 oz to inner edge of rim. 15. Attach weights (6) to inner and outer edges of wheel (21, ensuring weight clips (7) are centered on light spot (51, or weights (6) are placed evenly to sides of light spot (5) if more than one weight (6) is used. Using small hammer or clip claw-hammer tool, tap weights to conform to wheel (2) edge contour. n WEIGHTPLACEMENT DIAGRAM FOLLOW-ON TASK: Install wheel (para. 8-3). 8-23
