(CO
The tail rotor hub and blades must be
statically balanced prior to installation on the
helicopter. The balance wheel (5, figure
figure 64-2
is installed to permit dynamic balancing of the
tail rotor hub and blades on the helicopter
when a high frequency vibration exists, and it
is known that the hub and blades are
serviceable and are statically balanced.

1. Spanwise balance tail rotor hub and blade
as follows:
a. Observe the amount of vibration at the
tail rotor pedals and horizontal stabilizer with
BHT-206L4-M M-7
an N2 of 96 to 100 percent, flat pitch, for
reference.
b. Place a balance strip (2) 2 inches (50
mm) long and 1 inch (25 mm) wide of tape (C-C-
426

inches (760 mm) from centerline of hub, and
.-.
compare vibration. If vibration is not reduced
by the balance strip (2), remove tape and

perform same procedure on opposite tail rotor
blade (1).
c. If vibration is reduced but not

on tail rotor blade (1) until vibration is
reduced to a minimum.
NOTE
Use washers (4 and 6) in any
combination, to a maximum of three
washers per bolt (3), as required.
Length of bolt (3) is determined by
quantity and combination of washers
(4 and 6) that are used. Washers (6)
should be placed alternately on
either side of balance wheel (5).
The combination of bolt, washers,
