of the tyre near the rim. This should be about a quarter
of an inch from the rim, all the way round.
The following are the recommended tyre pressures
for these models for solo
use:-
Front:
18
lb. per sq. in. (Solo).
Rear :
19
lb. per sq. in. (Solo) ;
if
pillion passenger
carried,
30
lb. per sq. in. approximately.

Expanding Hub Brakes. The expanding hub brakes
are fitted with shoes lined with a special woven material,
and have drums
of
special cast iron giving freedom from
scoring. Should
an
excess of grease
find
its
way
from
the hub bearings on to the brake linings, the brake will
!ose a certain amount of its efficiency.
In
this case the
shoes and linings should be taken out and scraped to
remove the grease. After reassembly, drive with the
brakes " on " for half a mile or so to burn
off
the last
traces
of
grease.
The rear brake
is
adjusted by a wing nut at the end
of the brake rod, while the front brake adjustment
is
by
means of a milled nut.
52
Wheel Bearings. The bearings
of
both wheels are
single row, deep groove journal races. These have been
proved by extensive tests to. be superior to cup and cone
bearings and are adequate to deal with both radial and
thrust loads. They require no adjustment.
53 Cleaning. The enamelled portions
of
the machine
are best cleaned with cold water, using a brush for the
wheels. A hose pipe
is
the ideal, but
if
buckets must
be used, the parts can be prevented from drying with
a " smeary " finish by swilling several buckets of cold
water over the machine after washing.
The engine, gearbox and other parts which are
greasy should be brushed with paraffin.
We
recommend the use
of
"Autobrite" for enamel
parts and polished alloy parts.
For
chromium
we
recom-
mend "3-IN-ONE" Stop Rust Chrome Cleaner.
