Do not work in front of the rim but work on the tread side of the
tire.
1.
Measure the tire inflation pressure with a tire inflation pressure gauge.
2.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure properly.
The proper tire inflation pressure is shown below.
HD325–8
Tire size
Tire inflation pressure kPa{ kg/cm
2
}
18.00R33★★ 690 {7.0}
HD405–8
Tire size
Tire inflation pressure kPa{ kg/cm
2
}
21.00R33★★ 690 {7.0}
NOTICE
If the tires are used when the tire inflation pressure is less than the value given in the table above,
the rim may be damaged.
Maintain the tire inflation pressure within 0 to +30 kPa {0 to +0.3 kg/cm
2
} of the above value.
PRECAUTIONS FOR REPLACING TIRES
When tightening the hub bolts (1) after replacing the tire, drive
the machine for 5 to 6 km, then tighten the bolts again to settle
all the contacting parts.
In particular, there are more contacting parts on the rear
wheels than on the front wheels, so it will take time for the parts
to settle. For this reason, repeat the tightening process during
the first 50 hours after installation.
METHOD FOR RELEASING PARKING BRAKE
WARNING
• To prevent the parking brake from being automatically applied during the adjustment operation,
raise the brake oil pressure to a sufficiently high level. To prevent any other person from operating
the parking brake switch, hang a warning tag so that it can be seen clearly.
• Never put any oil or grease on the surface of the brake pad or disc.
If the parking brake effect is poor, adjust as follows.
