2.
If tip cover (3) will be replaced, remove four nuts
(4), washers (5), and bolts (6).
Do not lose weights. Same number
of weights must be installed on
replacement cover. Wrong number of
weights can increase vibration levels
resulting in damage to equipment and
injury to personnel.
3.
Remove weights (7) from cover (3). Tag weights
with blade serial number. Use paper tags (E264).

If a wedge-shaped rubber insert is found laying
against the tip cover, proceed as follows:
NOTE
The wedge is a tooling insert installed
on the inboard side of the forward
weight tube during blade manufacture.

Remove insert and weigh it. It weighs about
14 ounces.
b.
Add weight equal to insert weight to center
tube of forward weight filling (Task 5-82.1).
