SERVICE SHEET No. 1008 (contd.)
Release the lightning fastener round the spare wheel cover, take off the two nuts securing the rear
carrier and spare wheel and slacken the two bolts securing the rear carrier at each side of the dual seat. Lift
up the carrier and take off the spare wheel, then remove the cover and place the spare on the ground next to
the wheel to be changed.
In the case of the rear wheel,
with the machine on the stand,
slacken off the three wheel nuts so
that they can finally be removed
by hand, but do not remove the
nuts completely. Now take the
machine off the stand and lean it
over towards the left hand side so
that it is resting on the extreme
end of the stand leg. (Fig. 26). This
should be done gently to ensure
that the machine does not fall
over, although it will balance
quite easily in this position. Now
stand astride the rear of the
machine and apply
slight
pressure so that the rear tyre is
raised slightly off the ground.
Take off the three wheel nuts and
remove the
wheel ; pick up the spare wheel, place it in position with the deeper side of the wheel against the rear drive (that
is with the valve on the right hand side or uppermost), screw on the three nuts until the counter-sink is
gripping the wheel slightly and raise the machine upright. Place it on the stand and securely tighten the
three nuts a little at a time. Do not tighten one nut completely since this is liable to tilt the wheel on the
stub axle.
Always make sure that the three nuts are securely tightened.
In the case of the front wheel the procedure is the same but do not in any circumstances take the three
wheel nuts off completely ; simply slacken them off so that they can be finally removed with the fingers.
Again, take the machine off the stand and lean it over towards the left hand side, resting on the edge of
the stand leg. Then go round the machine to the right hand side, hold the handlebars
and
press slightly away so that the front tyre is slightly off the ground and pressure on the wheel is released.
Take off the three nuts, pick up the spare wheel and place it in position on the hub, this time with the
valve next to the hub or brake drum (that is on the left hand side of the machine), screw on the three
nuts, again tightening each one a little at a time and when the wheel is gripped sufficiently to locate it
raise the machine upright, place it on the stand and finally tighten the three wheel nuts securely.
Note that the front wheel is fitted with the valve on the left hand side and the rear wheel is fitted
with the valve on the right hand side of the machine.
Valve Clearance Adjustment.
This is commonly known as tappet adjustment but the name does not properly apply in the case of
the Scooter engine because the adjusting pins are mounted above the valves at the end of the valve
rockers, and not on the tappets themselves.
