TYRE / PRESSURES
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED TYRE PRESSURES
1. Remember that temperature affects pressures: in cold weather the pressure needs to be
higher than in hotter temperatures.
2. Never adjust the pressure immediately after driving because driving heats up the tyres.
There are many individual causes of tyre troubles. However, the three abuses which will cause
most problems and the greatest costs are under-inflation, overloading and speeding. When you
check the tyre pressures also look for bumps and bulges in the side of the tyre or tread. Check
the tyres for cuts, slits or cracks, nails or foreign objects embedded in the side of the tyre or
tread. Check the tread for excess wear. Replace or repair any defect or fault with tyres before
use.
ROTOR BEARING INSPECTION
NB:
Disconnect the spark plug lead.
Rotate each rotor shaft by hand and feel for any roughness in the bearings. Also try to pull the
shaft from side to side if any movement is found check all mounting and blade bolts are tight
and repeat the test. If symptoms persist strip down the rotor-housing unit and inspect bearings.
