MAINTENANCE
REFERENCE “E”
WHEEL SHAFTS
Apply 1-2 cc of grease evenly all around and
along the length of wheel shafts (
E
).
WEAR
Wheels
Verify the general condition of the suspension’s
wheels. If they show important wear or missing
fragments, replace the wheel. Check wheel
bearings for restriction, noise or abnormal play in
rotation. Replace wheel or wheel bearing if they
show any one of these defects. Figure 27.
Figure 27
Chains
If a chain is adjusted to its highest setting (
A
) and
the required amount of play (3-6 mm [1/8-1/4 in.])
cannot be obtained at the mid point (
B
) between
the sprockets, the chain should be replaced. See
Figure 28.
Figure 28
CAUTION: If a chain is replaced, the sprockets
should be replaced at the same time. Assembly of
new and used parts can speed up wear of the new
components installed on the drive system.
