7.2.3 CHECKING THE COMPONENTS

WARNING
Make sure all components
especially those listed below.
BEARINGS
Manually turn the inner race (1) of each ball bearing.
The rollers should turn smoothly and quietly. There
should be no axial clearance. Any bearings found to
have these faults must be replaced.
GASKETS
Make sure the gaskets are intact; replaced if damaged
or excessively worn.
WHEEL AXLE
Use a dial indicator to check the eccentricity of the axle
(2). If the eccentricity exceeds the limit value, replace
the axle (2).
Maximum eccentricity: 0.009 in (0.25 mm).
WHEEL RIM
Use a dial indicator to make sure that the radial (A) and
axial (B) eccentricity of the wheel rim (3) does not
exceed the limit value. Excess eccentricity is usually
caused by worn or damaged bearings. If the value
does not return to within the limit indicated after
changing the bearings, replace the wheel rim (3).
Maximum radial and axial eccentricity: 0.078 in
(2 mm)
TIRE
Check the status of the tire,see 2.36 (TIRES).
