check

to
be

sure
that
there
is

enough

clearance
between
hose

The
check
should
be
carried
out
while

moving

INFLATION

Correct
tire

pressure
is

very
im

portant
to
ease
of

steering
and

riding

comfort

This
also
reduces

driving

sound

to
a
minimum

resulting
in

longer
tire

life
that
is

overinflation
or
underinflation

promotes
wear
at

cen

ter

or

shouider
of

If

inspected
frequently

and
maintained

correct
tire

pressure
it

is

possible
to

detect

sharp
material

in

the
tread

Also
the
above
check

avoids

abnormal
wear
which
invites
serious

problem
If
tires
indicate

abnormal
or

uneven

wear
the
cause
of

problem

should
be
detected
and
eliminated

After

inflating
tires

leakage
in
valve

should
be

checked
Without

valve

caps

leakage
will

occur
due
to

dirt
and

water

resulting
in

Ac

cordingly
whenever

balance
is

necessary

when

Severe
acceleration

and

braking
or
fast

is
the

cause
of

wear

on
