7.8.4 CHECKING THE COMPONENTS
WHEEL-HOLDER TUBE
◆
Check the sliding surface, which must be neither lined,
nor scratched.
Slight lines can be eliminated by sanding the surface
with wet sandpaper (grain 1).
If the lines are deep, change the tube (21).
◆
By means of a comparator, make sure that any curving
of the tube (21) be lower than the limit value.
If it exceeds the limit value, change the tube.
Curving limit: 0.2 mm.
a
WARNING
NEVER straighten a curved tube, since its structure
would be weakened, thus making the use of the vehi-
cle quite dangerous.
SLIDER
◆
Make sure that there are neither damages, nor cracks.
Otherwise, change it.
SPRING
◆
Check the integrity of the spring (11), making sure that
its length does not exceed the limit value.
◆
If the length does not correspond to the limit value,
change the spring (11).
Minimum length of the spring when not compressed:
284 mm.
◆
Check the condition of the following components:
– slide bushing (17);
– guide bushing (20);
– pumping element (9).
If excessive wear or any damage are observed,
change the component in question.
a
CAUTION
Remove any accumulation of impurities from the
bushings, taking care not to scratch their surfaces.
◆
Replace the following components with new ones:
– gasket (18);
– antidust gasket (15);
– the two O rings on the adjusting element (3).
