SECTION 8
MAINTENANCE
Page 26
Avoid
parking the machine in puddles of oil, gasoline or
grease.
Check inflation
pressures with an accurate tire pressure gauge
when the tires are cool. Refer to "SPECIFICATIONS"
in
Section 9 for the correct inflation
pressures. Install the valve
caps.
Never vent built-up
pressure in a tire, such as encountered on
extremely
hot days. Pressure built up on hot days actually
protects the tires by avoiding excessive sidewall flexing and
heat, which
are detrimental
to tire life. Venting
tires will
also result in under inflation
when the tire cools.
TIRES
UNDER
INFLATION
Too little air pressure increases deflection,
causes the tire to
wipe and scuff over the road, results in extra strain on the
tire, and increases the chance for bruising.
PROPER INFLATION
Maintaining
the proper air pressure provides maximum
road
contact and results in increased tire life.
OVER INFLATION
Over inflation
reduces the tire deflection
and tire contact
area, causing the tire to ride on the crown, and results in
rapid wear in the center of the tread.
TRANSFER
DRIVE BREATHER
(lilust. 34)
1. Remove the breather from the top of the transfer drive.
2. Wash the breather
in a commercial
cleaning solvent to
remove any contaminants
in the cap.
3. Dry thoroughly,
using compressed air, or shake to remove
the excess cleaning solvent.
4. Install the breather back in place.
