6) Hold the load close: Hold the burden close to your body to keep it under control and in balance.

7) Set the load down safely: Use the same lifting-related guidelines when placing the weight down

• At what height should heavy objects be stored?

Heavy objectsshould be kept in easy-to-reach places that don’t require a lot of bending, stooping, or lifting. The weight, size, & physical capabilities of the individual handling the item will all affect this height differently.

To prevent undue stress on the back muscles, heavier things should often be kept at waist level or below. As a result, lighter items may be kept higher while heavy ones need to be kept closer to the ground. Regardless of their height, it’s crucial to constantly exercise care and practice safe liftin

• Indicate some of the precautions that are needed when using a wheel balancer?

Follow manufacturer instructions Wear personal protective equipment Check the wheel and tire

Position the wheel correctly Use the appropriate weights Perform regular maintenance

• What pre-balance checks should be made to wheels prior to carrying out a wheel balance?

Verify for damage: Look for any indications of damage, such as cracks, dents, or punctures, on the wheel and tire. The precision of the wheel balance may be impacted by vibrations brought on by damaged tires or wheels.

Check for wear: Look for indicators of wear, such as uneven tread wear or bald areas, on the tire. The precision of the wheel balance might also be impacted by uneven tire wear by vibration.

Check the valve stem: Make sure the valve stem is in good condition and is not leaking air. A leaking valve stem can cause the tire pressure to fluctuate, which can affect the accuracy of the balance.

1. What pre-balance checks should be made to tyres prior to carrying out a wheel balance?

Examine the tire for any evidence of damage, such as bulges, cuts, or punctures. Damaged tires should be replaced rather than balanced.

Examine the tread depth & wear pattern of the tires to look for wear. Unevenly worn or tread-wearing tires should not be balanced & should be replaced.

Verify the tire pressure is at the appropriate level by checking the tire pressure. Low tire pressure may create vibration and have an impact on balance.

1. Name the two (2) types of wheel balancers used today in automotive workplaces and indicate briefly how each type operates?

Static balancers: Using the wheel and tire assembly’s center of gravity as a starting point, static balancers work.

After being installed on a vertical shaft, the wheel is allowed to level out.

The balancer then identifies any sections of the wheel that are heavier and shows where weight has to be added to the assembly to bring it into balance.

The wheel’s outside rim is next where the weights are fastened.

Dynamic balancers: This sort of balancer works by rapidly rotating the wheel and tire assembly to check for any imbalance.

When the assembly has to be balanced, the machine then shows where weight needs to be added.

The wheel’s outside rim is next where the weights are fastened.

1. Why do wheels and tyres need to be balanced?

Tires and wheels must be balanced because they may have minute weight discrepancies that, when rotated quickly, generate vibrations.

A smoother ride is achieved by adding tiny weights to the wheel rim to assist distribute the weight evenly. Additionally, balanced tires and wheels last longer and are safer.

Multiple choice. Circle the correct answer

1. A tyre-and-wheel assembly that is out-of-round is said to have?

1. Radial runout.
   1. Lateral runout.
   1. Excessive runout.
   1. General runout.

1. How can tyre and wheel runout be checked?

By measuring the amount of lateral or radial movement of the wheel and tire assembly while it is spinning using a dial indicator, tire and wheel runout may be determined.

This may be accomplished by fixing the dial indicator to a set location close to the wheel and rotating the wheel while pushing the indicator tip into contact with the edge of the wheel.

The dial indication may then be used to determine how much runout there is. Utilizing a laser wheel alignment tool is an additional technique that evaluates any deviations from a perfect circle by shining a beam of light across the tire and wheel assembly.

Multiple choice. Circle the correct answer

1. What is the maximum lateral tyre runout?

1. 1mm.
   1. 2mm.
   1. 3mm.
   1. 4mm.

1. What is meant by static balance?

The balance of a wheel & tire combination while it is stationary is referred to as static balance.

It is accomplished by adding weight to the wheel in a position that balances any areas of the tire or wheel that are particularly heavy.

1. Explain static wheel imbalance and describe the results of static imbalance?

When a wheel & tire assembly’s center of gravity is not distributed uniformly throughout its axis of rotation, static wheel imbalance results. This indicates that the assembly will wobble or shake rather than revolve smoothly.

The results of static imbalance can include: i. Vibrations at low speeds

ii. Uneven tire wear iii. Poor handling

1. What is meant by dynamic balance?

Dynamic balance is the uniform distribution of mass, including any weights or other counterbalancing devices required to establish balance, around the perimeter of a wheel and tire assembly.

Dynamic balancing seeks to guarantee that any imbalances are addressed at all rotational speeds while taking into consideration the fact that the weight distribution of a wheel and tire assembly might vary as it spins.

This guarantees a quiet, vibration-free ride, lessens tire wear and tear, and enhances the car’s overall performance and handling.

Dynamic balancing is often accomplished with the use of specialist equipment that determines the exact weight and placement of the weights necessary to establish balance based on measurements of the imbalance.

Multiple choice. Circle the correct answer

1. Dynamic wheel unbalance may result in?

1. Increased steering effort.
   1. Normal tyre tread life.
   1. Lateral wheel shimmy.
   1. Tyre and wheel tramp.

• What are some of the effects of a wheel that is out of balance?

A wheel that is out of balance may make the whole car tremble or rattle.

This may lead to uneven tire wear, reduced fuel economy, and perhaps hazardous driving situations.

Multiple choice. Circle the correct answer

• A tyre that wobbles from side to side is said to have.

1. Radial runout.
   1. Lateral runout.
   1. Eccentric runout.
   1. None of these answers are correct.

• Name the different types of wheel weights below.

Adhesive wheel weight

Zinc clip on wheel weight

Zinc uncoated weights for steel rims

Hofmann Power Weight Zinc clip on wheel weight

• How are wheel weights fitted?

To balance a wheel, weights are attached to the rim. The weights may be fastened to the rim by glue, clips, or by hammering.

The wheel balancer calculates the weight and where it should be placed on the rim depending on the severity and position of the imbalance. The wheel is once again examined for balance once the weights have been placed.

• Work out the following wheel weight sizes from metric to imperial.

5 grams: 10 grams: 15 grams: 20 grams: 45 grams: 60 grams:     0.011lb

0.022lb
