MAINTENANCE
SADDLE ADJUSTMENT
Saddle adjustment is provided at both front and rear ends. Importance is attached to
the desirability of owners selecting the adjustment most to their liking. At the front
end, the adjustment consists of three evenly spaced positions for the hinge bolt, accessible
only upon removal of the petrol tank. At the rear end, adjustment is obtained by
altering the position of the lower spring fixing nuts upon the screwed studs to which
the springs are attached.
PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance, attention to lubrication, and certain adjustments must be made to
ensure unfailing reliability and satisfactory service. This necessary attention is detailed
below, and owners are strongly recommended to follow carefully these suggestions,
and to make a regular practice of doing so from the first.
The reference numbers, in brackets, refer to the locations specified on the Lubrication
Chart, Illustration 7.
