To check oil content of " TELEDRAULIC " leg and top-up :

(DEALERS' SERVICE ONLY)

Dealing with one leg at a time, remove top securing bolt, taking care to observe the

location of the spacing washers on it. Remove bottom securing bolt and take away the

leg.

Using a suitable clamp encircling the outer tube adjacent to the bottom pivot lug, grip

in a vice and loosen the pivot lug. Then holding leg vertically, bottom end uppermost,

carefully remove the loosened pivot lug, and gripping the exposed end of the damper

tube with the fingers, raise and lower several times (pumping action) after which pour

the oil contents into a graduated measure. It may be necessary to repeat the pumping

action to eject oil from underneath the damper valve, and finally the open end of tube

should be supported above the measure and left to drain for several minutes. If the leg

contained the correct amount of oil, 75 c.c. (2s ozs.) should have been drained out into

the graduated measure, leaving 10 c.c. (3 oz.) which cannot be withdrawn. All that now

remains is to pour carefully back into the leg exactly 75 c.c. (2s ozs.) of oil, after which

the pivot lug may again be screwed on and securely tightened down to prevent oil

leakage when the leg is re-fitted, after which the other leg may be dealt with in a similar

manner.

PROP STAND

The prop stand hinges on a bolt which passes through a lug brazed to the frame and screws

into the jaw of the stand leg. It is then locked by a nut and split pin. Care in tightening

this bolt is necessary to avoid pinching, and it is essential to observe after securely

tightening the lock nut that the stand is perfectly free. Smear the hinge bolt with engine

oil before replacing it.

CENTRE STAND (Spring Frame Models)

The centre stand is mounted on a bolt set across the bottom rear of the main frame and is

removed by taking off a nut of the centre bolt and pushing bolt through the frame.

During removal and replacement the stand should be in a horizontal position in order

to take off as much of the tension of the return spring as is possible.

FRONT STAND

The front stand is intended to operate only as a support and care is necessary, when

using, to avoid passing the vertical position. No stops are provided and dragging the

machine backward, with the stands down, is likely to fracture the lugs on the aluminium

sliders of the forks to which the stand is attached.

Do not attempt to use the FRONT STAND unless the machine is already

supported by the centre stand.

REAR STAND (Rigid Frame Models)

A plain steel washer is fitted under the HEAD of each of the two bolts that retain the

rear stand to the fork ends. The washers should NOT be fitted UNDER the nuts

of those bolts.

TO REMOVE OIL TANK AND BATTERY CARRIER

Two studs on the seat tube, one facing to the front, the other facing to the rear, engage

with two right-angle stays on the oil tank and two similar stays on the battery carrier,

and two washers and two nuts, fitted to the studs, retain the oil tank and battery carrier

in position.

Remove oil tank and battery carrier by :

Drain oil tank.

Disconnect negative wire from the battery where it is attached to the seat lug bolt by

a screw.

Disconnect positive wire from the battery at the point, close to the battery, where there

is a double screwed connector. (Pull back the rubber sleeve to reveal the two main

components of the connector. Hold one component in a wrench, or pliers, while the

second component is unscrewed from it.)
