* Overcharging, almost always resulting in the battery becoming hot, causing the plates inside
to buckle and contact each other. Should this happen the battery has suffered unrecoverable
damage and should be replaced.
•
** Prolonged periods of the battery being left “flat” results in the plates inside becoming
heavily
“sulphated”. Recovery involves slow
charging over a protracted period with the
inherent danger that the recovered battery then suffers overcharging damage.

Tyres
5.5.1 Pressure, Load, Speed and Interchangability
•
Tyres must be maintained at the pressures shown below. Underinflation at maximum load will
result in overheating, uneven wear, reduced stability and, if seriously underinflated, sudden
failure.
•
When replacing tyres ensure that it is the same size and load speed rating. The number (load)
and letter (speed) code of the load speed index are very important and the same size of tyre
will probably be available in lower load/speed ratings than those shown below. Lower
load/speed ratings are unsafe.
•
Tyres typically carry other speed, load and pressure information on their sidewalls. These
apply to use outside the Europe
–
typically North America
–
and should be ignored. Only the
number/letter load speed index matters in Europe.
