Table of Contents

The maintenance operations consist of checking and restoring the efficiency of certain vehicle c o m p o -

nents subject to wear which may deteriorate during normal usage conditions.

This section describes the operations w h i c h should be carriedout on the vehicle at the intervals set out in

the Planned Maintenance Programme (on the previous page). Each operation is described indepen-

dently on account of which there is no pre-defined ideal operating cycle to be repeated at each interval.

It is therefore necessary to ensure that those operations which require the same components to be dis-

mantled are carried out at the same intervals in order to maximize the efficiency of the repair times.

If, when carrying out each operation, the need arises to carry out additional replacements or further re-

pairs not envisaged in the Planned Maintenance Programme, prior approval must be obtained first from

the Customer.

PLANNED MAINTENANCE O P E R A T I O N S

Check the condition of the tyres making sure,

in particular, that there are no signs of ageing

on the tread and the tyre walls, that the tyres

are not excessively/unevenly worn and that

there are no abrasions/burrs, porousness or

Check the depth of the tread using a special

gauge, taking the measurement at the inter-

section between the transverse and longitu-

dinal splining (at several points on the cir-

cumference).

depth is 1.6mm. The difference between the

depths of tread on the same tyre should not

exceed 2 mm. The difference between the

depths of tread on different tyres on the same

axle should not exceed 5 mm.

If the tread wear is uneven, check the tyre in-

flation pressure and inform the Customer of

the possible need to balance the wheels.
