  • Page 12: Routine Maintenance

    TENSIONER BOLTS ARE SECURE BEFORE REPLACING THE COVER. “Belts will be sufficiently tensioned if the deflection force applied at mid span to produce a deflection equal to 16mm per meter of span distance falls between 5 and 9 Newtons per Rib” (TBA Belting). In practical terms this relates to about 5mm of deflection under moderate finger pressure on the non tensioner side. If fitting new belts it is advisable to observe the drive for the first 20-30 minutes. It may be necessary to make an adjustment to compensate for the normal drop in tension during the run-in period. Simplex SP20006_REV_1...
  • Page 13: Storage

    Because of the nature of lead free petrol we recomend that if the machine is being left unused for more than 2 weeks the carburetor is run dry. Allow the engine to run out of fuel with the fuel tap switched off. Simplex SP20006_REV_1...
  • Page 14: General Lubrication

    Apply a small amount of oil to the control cables. Flow down the protective cables can be assisted by operating the lever a few times after lubricating. FRONT ROLLER ADJUSTERS (2-months) Apply a small quantity of copper grease or similar to the adjuster studs to prevent corrosion and ease adjustment. Simplex SP20006_REV_1...
