Regular checks should
be
made for flints, nails,
small
stones
etc., which should be
removed
from
the
tread
or
they
may
ultimately
penetrate
and damage
the
casing and puncture
the
tube.

TABLE
(5) Tires and spokes should
be
kept
free from oil,
grease and
kerosene
(paraffin), Regular cleaning
should be carried
out
with a cloth and a
little
gasoli~,e
(petrol).
TIRE
MAINTENANCE
(4)
(1) Maintain
the
correct
Inflation
pressure
as
shown
In
the
Owners
Handbook. Use a
pressure
gauge
frequently.
It
Is
advisable
to
check and
restore
tire
pressures
at
least once per week. Pressures
should
always be checked when
tires
are
cold
and
notwhen they
have
reached
normal
running
temperatures.
To
obtain optimum tire mileage
and
to
eliminate
irregular
wear
on
the tires
It
is
essential
that
the
recommendations governing pressures
and
general
malntenante
are
followed. The folloWing points
should
be'carefully observed.
(2)
Note-Under
Inflation will
not
only
seriously
effect
the
life
of
the
tire
but
will also adversely
effect
the
steering.
When
a pillion passenger
or
additional load
Is
carried,
the
actual load on each
tire
should
be
taken
and
the
pressure increased
In
accordance
with
the
Information given
In
the
table.
The
load
on
each
tire
can
be
found by placing each
wheel
In
turn
on a weigh bridge with
the
rlder(s)
seated
on
the machine.
(3) Unnecessarily rapid acceleration and flerce
braking
should always be avoided since this
treatment
Invariably
results
In
rapid
tire wear.
