NOTE
Use this procedure for balancing the tail
rotor hub and blade assembly using
balance kit (7HEL087). If using balance kit
(HA-212-TRSB), refer to paragraph 64-5A.
NOTE
Check the trunnion centering (paragraph
64-13) before balancing the tail rotor hub
and blade assembly.
1. Prepare the balance kit for use as follows:
a. Immediately prior to the use of the balance kit,
carefully wipe all external and internal mating surfaces
with a lint-free cloth or paper cleansing tissue to
remove old oil and accumulations of fine dust or other
foreign matter. Coat the components with clean,
non-corrosive lubricating oil (C-031). The procedure
will facilitate the installation of close-fitting pilot
adapters, cones, and bushings on the balancing
arbors. Seizing of cones and bushings on the arbors is
usually caused by fine particles of dirt or other foreign
matter, or by improper lubrication.
b. Should excessive oscillation of the balance
indicator occur due to inadvertent loss of arbor
dashpot oil, or should change of dashpot oil become
necessary, fill the balance arbor dashpot with
lubricating oil (C-040). One oil hole is located in the
side of the arbor approximately 1-11/16
(1.6875) inches (42.863 mm) below the indicator
bushing; another is located in the opposite side
approximately 2.0 inches (51 mm) from the lower end
of the arbor. Remove both oil hole screws, using a
1/16 (0.0625)-inch (1.588-mm) hex wrench. Using
positive pressure, pump action oil can, pump oil into
the lower arbor oil hole until oil appears at the level of
the upper arbor oil hole. Install the lower and upper
Export Classification C, ECCN EAR99
BHT-412-CR&O-4
filler hole screws. If positive-press-type can is not
available, the arbor dashpot may be filled through the
upper hole only. Leave the lower screw installed in the
arbor. In this case, repeat the filling operation two or
three times at 10-minute intervals to ensure small air
spaces are completely filled. Make sure that the filler
hole screws are installed following the filling or
draining operation.
2. Provide a work bench or flat top stand in a
draft-free area. Provide a suitable means to suspend
the arbor (3, Figure 64-3) and the tail rotor above the
work bench. The arbor must be supported at the cable
loop (1).
3. Loosen the retaining set screw in the indicator
collar (2). Press the indicator downward against light
spring pressure to position button surface
approximately 0.005 inch (0.13 mm) above the black
indicator disc (18). Lightly tighten the set screw. Make
sure the indicator collar does not contact the indicator
disc.
4. Clean the tail rotor hub and blade assembly (15)
trunnion bore and cone seat surfaces with a soft cloth
or tissue.
5. Place two parallel wooden blocks on the
workbench to support the tail rotor hub and blade
assembly. Place the tail rotor hub and blade assembly
on the wooden blocks with the flat surface of the
blades outboard of the blade retention bolts in contact
with the wooden blocks and with the heads of the rotor
blade attaching bolts (7) facing down. Adjust the blade
pitch to cause the blades to rest evenly on the blocks.
The tail rotor hub name (data) plate should be down.
6. Install the pilot bushing (4) and the plate (17) on
the arbor (3). Do not tighten the set screws (5) at this
time.
7. Position the cone (16) on the balance indicating
arbor (3) with the top of the cone at the 5.125 inches
(130.18 mm) mark on the arbor. This is marked
Sensitivity Setting Reference Surface on the
illustration. Tighten the set screws (6).
8. Position the arbor (3) in the tail rotor hub and
blade assembly (15).
9. Install the adapter (12) on the arbor (3) and seat
the adapter on the tail rotor hub trunnion.

10. Install the base (13) on the arbor (3). Tighten the
set screws (14).
11. Seat the plate (17) against the hub and blade
assembly. Seat the pilot bushing (4) against the plate
and tighten the set screws (5). Install the pitch horn
bushing (20) in the pitch horn. Install the post (19) on
the base (13) and the pitch horn (11). Adjust the pitch
horn height on the post to set the rotor blade at 0°
pitch. Install the opposite post in the same manner.
Make sure that both rotor blades are at 0° pitch.
12. Carefully engage the cable loop (1) with the hoist
hook and suspend the assembly clear of all
obstructions without causing change to the blade pitch
or trunnion position on the arbor.
13. Loosen the set screws (5) and firmly reseat the
plate (17) on the hub assembly. Maintain seating
pressure and secure by moderately tightening the set
screws (5).
14. Recheck the position of the cone (16) to ensure
that the sensitivity setting of 5.125 inches
(130.18 mm), which was set in step 7, has not
changed. If the setting has changed and/or the arbor is
not firmly seated on the rotor hub trunnion, repeat
step 5 through step 13.
15. Stabilize the movements of the suspended rotor
and observe the balance indicated by the concentricity
relationship of the black indicator disc (18) in the top
surface of the arbor shaft and the indicator collar (2).
Acceptable balance is indicated when the indicator
collar remains within the edge limits of the black
indicator disc (Figure 64-3, View A).
16. Check that the balance indications are not
affected by interference from surrounding objects, air
drafts, or movements of nearby personnel.
NOTE
Step 17, step 18, and step 19 are only
applicable to tail rotor hub and blade
assemblies with tail rotor blades
212-010-750 installed. If tail rotor blades
412-016-100 are installed, refer to step 20,

1. Refinish the tail rotor blades as follows:
a. Thoroughly wipe the surface to be repainted
with solvent (C-386). Allow the solvent to wet the area
for a few minutes, then wipe dry with clean
cheesecloth (C-486).
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ROTARY TYPE SANDING
DEVICES. OTHERWISE DAMAGE TO
THE TAIL ROTOR BLADE CAN OCCUR.
b. Thoroughly sand the area to be painted with
240 grit, or finer, abrasive cloth or paper (C-406) until a
uniform matte finish is obtained.
c. Wash the sanded surface with an abrasive
pad (C-407) and cleaning compound (C-318) to obtain
a water break free surface. Rinse with water. Repeat
step a through step c as required to obtain a water
break free surface.
NOTE
From completion of this step through final
paint, the surface of the blades that are to
be painted shall not be handled with bare
hands.
d. Apply chemical film material (C-100) on all
bare aluminum surfaces (BHT-ALL-SPM, Chapter 3).
e. Mask the pitch horn bolt holes, blade grip bolt
holes and buffer pads, identification plate and leading
edge area of the tail rotor blade with tape (C-434) and
masking paper (C-420) as applicable.
f. Apply one coat of epoxy primer coating
(C-246) to cover the sanded area.
NOTE
If any coat of paint (primer or topcoat) is
allowed to air dry at temperatures less than
100°F (37.7°C) for longer than 8 hours, or
cured at temperatures greater than 100°F
(37.7°C), all blade surfaces shall be

abrasive cloth or paper (C-406) and
reprimed with epoxy primer coating (C-246)
prior to overcoating.
If there is a question as to the cured state of
the coating, use the acetone resistance test
to verify. The acetone resistance check is
used to determine if a paint film is receptive
to additional coats of paint. If a coat of paint
is applied to a non-receptive surface, the
paint film will not adhere well enough to
survive in service. Saturate a clean cloth or
cotton tip applicator with acetone (C-316).
Rub the acetone soaked clean cloth
(C-516) or cotton tip applicator back and
forth on the paint surface in question using
light finger pressure. If the surface of the
coating is being removed within 1 to 4 rubs,
the coating is not resistant to acetone and
is still receptive to overcoating without
having to sand and reprime. If the surface
of the coating in question is resistant to
rubbing with acetone (greater than 4 rubs
without paint transferring easily to the cloth
or cotton tipped applicator), then the
surface is inactive and resistant to acetone.
An inactive paint surface that is resistant to
acetone must be thoroughly sanded with
