(1) Do the subsequent step if trim balance weights (6) are installed.
(a) Use the marker (Material No.V06-069) to make a mark on the trim balance weights (6) and the front blade retaining ring (5).
NOTE: Make sure that the mark which identifies each balance weight is aligned with the same mark on the retaining ring. These marks make sure of the correct installation of the balance weights on assembly.
1 As an alternative to the marker (Material No.V06-069) , it is permitted to use a marker that is specified in IAE V2500 Standard Practices Manual (SPP-V2500-1IA) 70-09-01-400-501 - Procedure To Make Temporary Marks On Components And Assemblies.
