bolts, washers, Circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations-replace these fasteners with new parts where indicated, and any other
time it is deemed necessary by inspection.

settled.

Vehicle should be at gross vehicle weight or curb load weight when the checking or adjusting procedure is made.

3.

Tire pressures should be to specification.
