7.5.4. CHECKING FRONT WHEEL PARTS<br />

Bearings<br />

WARNING<br />

Check the integrity of all the components and<br />

in particular those indicated below.<br />

• <strong>Manual</strong>ly rotate the inner ring (1), which should rotate<br />

without jamming and/or noise. There should be no axial<br />

slacks. The bearings that show signs of the malfunctions<br />

mentioned above must be changed.<br />

Wheel pin<br />

WARNING<br />

Apply grease on the balls (or rollers) on both<br />

sides of each bearing, see 1.7 (LUBRICANT<br />

CHART). This operation is not necessary if the<br />

bearing is self-lubricating.<br />

• Check the eccentricity of the pin by means of a comparator.<br />

If the eccentricity exceeds the limit value,<br />

change the pin.<br />

Rim<br />

WARNING<br />

Apply grease on the pin (only in the area of<br />

contact with the bearings), see 1.7 (LUBRI-<br />

CANT CHART).<br />

• Using a comparator, make sure that the radial and axial<br />

eccentricity of the rim do not exceed the limit value.<br />

Excessive eccentricity is usually caused by worn or<br />

damaged bearings. If after changing the bearings the<br />

value still exceeds the indicated limit, change the rim.<br />

Speedometer control<br />

• Make sure that there are no evident signs of damage<br />

and/or excessive wear.<br />

Tyre<br />

WARNING<br />

Apply grease on the inner side, see 1.7 (LU-<br />

BRICANT CHART).<br />

Check the conditions of the tyre, see 2.21.2 (TYRES).<br />
