Manual for a motorcycle with sidecar
M - 72

City of

Irbit 1954

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


Attention, driver! During first driven 2000 km all parts of the engine and of the
drive train must wear in thoroughly. In this time an overloading or lugging of the
engine and an excess of the speeds indicated in the chapter "test run of a new
motorcycle" must not occur.

In order to prevent this, the carburetors are lead-sealed and only after 1000 km
are they to be broken.

Over the distance of lead-sealing, times are to be set up in the presence of the
responsible motor vehicle officer.

These times are taken to the Kfz. documents, if a complaint should be


necessary.

A distance of lead-sealing before the prescribed time is strictly forbidden.

the motorcycle M-72
Introduction

If one does not understand the construction of the motorcycle and does not care
about the adjustment schedules, one cannot count on troublefree operation. In
this document of maintenance and operation are the procedures for the
motorcycle M-72, and there is also a short description of the construction of the
mechanisms of the motorcycle.

The care of the motorcycle, adjustment and the lubrication are systematically
accomplished, according to the data given in this instruction. If the driver obeys
this instruction exactly, it reaches that the motorcycle runs for a long time and
troublefree. The motorcycle M - 72 is a complicated machine, which can have a
very long life span in the hands of an attentive driver.

In order to learn to control the machine perfectly and use their knowledge
completely, one must intimately know its construction, function and adjustment.

At the motorcycle there are no "little things" and unimportant parts. Without an
overriding reason one is not to take a motorcycle apart or its assemblies. The
correct interaction of the parts can be disturb with an unnecessary dismantling
and reassembly of machine parts, causing its premature wear and even
breakage.

Technical examinations must be made systematically, foregoing repairs.

The control mechanisms of the motorcycle

Control mechanisms of the motorcycle (fig. 2) are:


The ignition key and the central switch

1. They usually lie in the headlight in the following positions:


l. The ignition key is pulled out, the central switch is in central position, all parts
are switched off (conditions of the motorcycle by day).
2. The key is pulled out, the central switch is turned to the left, it illuminates the
small headlight, the tail light of the motorcycle and the lamps of the sidecar
(conditions of the motorcycle at night on the road).
3. The key is inserted, the central switch is completely in the central position - the
ignition is switched on, when pressing on the button sounds the signal (during the
travel by day). Remark: With engine switched off and completely iinserted ignition
key the indicator light 2 illuminates. After starting the engine the indicator light is
off.
4. The ignition key is inserted completely, the central switch is turned to the left
and the ignition is switched on; the small headlight, the tail light of the motorcycle
and the lamps of the side car illuminate. When pressing on the button the signal
sounds (during the travel at night on well illuminated roads).
5. The ignition key is turned to the left completely inserted, the central switch, the
ignition is switched on - the tail light of the motorcycle and the sidecar lamps
illumintate. When pressing on the button the signal sounds. Large or small light is
switched on by the dimmer switch on the steering wheel (during the travel at
night on badly lit up roads and outside of the city).

The starter pedal lies on the left side of the motorcycle. The starting occurs
through pressing down the pedal with your foot. The pedal returns by a feather
spring to this starting position.

The coupling lever (clutch) 4 is on the left side of the driver. While drawing the
lever the clutch is disengaged and the crankshaft of the engine is separated from
the drivetrain. The transmission must be in neutral while starting.

The rotary clutch (friction control) of the throttle sleeve 5 (hand throttle) lies on
the right side of the driver. With rotation of the throttle toward you the engine
increases RPM. Rotate away and the engine RPM decreases. The way of the
throttle cable is limited with a new, not yet well-worn wheel. If you experience an
overly difficult throttle, inspect, or it may break the cable.

Fig 3
Shifting Gears
The foot shift lever 6 lies under the left foot of the driver and is a double-armed
lever with two pedals. The transmission is shifted by pressure on the front or rear
pedal of the lever. After every pressure the pedal goes back in the starting
position. With the turning on of the first gear one must step on the front pedal of
the lever (picture 3).
When switching on on 2nd. gear one must step on the rear pedal. When switching
to the 3 on. gear one must again step on the rear pedal and when switching on to
4th. gear three times on the rear pedal step. The neutral gear is between the 1st.
and 2nd. gear. Therefore one must when switching the 1st to neutral the rear
pedal around a half gear and when switching 2nd. gear the front pedal likewise
around a half gear press down. One finds the idle position however more
comfortable, if one uses the hand lever 7 (fig. 2). The gearshift lever 7 is on the
right side of the transmission. It serves for the fast finding of neutral gear (the
lever is somewhat back-curved for this).

The footbrake 8 lies under the right foot of the driver. The back wheel brake is
operated by pressure on the pedal. One can use the foot brake regardless of the
hand brake. The hand brake lever 9 is on the right side of the driver. The front
wheel brake is operated by drawing the handlebar brake lever. The hand brake
should be used together with the foot brake.

The ignition setting lever 10 is on the left side of the steering wheel. In the case
of a turn of the lever to the driver the circuit breaker disk moves after the turning
side of the cam. This position corresponds to the spark advance. In the case of a
turn of the lever away from the driver the circuit breaker disk turns after that the
reverse direction of rotation of the cam arranged side. This position corresponds
to the spark retarding.

The position of the ignition setting lever is to correspond to the function of the
engine. When starting with few revolutions of the engine and likewise with
overloading, if the engine begins to knock, the ignition setting lever must be set
to spark advance. With an increase of the number of revolutions one must
increase the ignition folding or sliding bevel square.

The signal button 12 is on the left side of the steering wheel on the housing of the
ignition setting lever.

The steering damper 13 serves the desired driving direction for the weakening of
lateral impacts of the motorcycle and for the observance with different road
conditions. Depending upon the tightness of the steering damper unwanted turns
of the fork are prevented and the steering of the motorcycle is facilitated. During
a travel with high speed or on bad roads one must tighten the screw of the
steering damper.

The speedometer 14 is built into the headlight and has an odometer and a
speedometer. During the engagement of the headlight the dial of the
speedometer is lit up.

Manual Preparations for driving

The careful examination of the machine before driving is the absolute condition
for the troublefree operation of the motorcycle and for the avoidance of incidents
on the road. Before travelling one must make an inspection of the motorcycle, in
order to make sure it is in roadworthy condition. Furthermore one must test the
presence and the firmness of all pins and connections. With special attention one
has on the firm screw connection of the nuts/bolts on the axle of the rear wheel,
the engine, the sidecar, to inspect the saddle and the steering wheel. One must
examine also the effectiveness of the brakes.

Furthermore one must check whether the tank is full and must in the case of
neede fuel - refuel. While refuelling embarrassing cleanliness is to be considered,
since dirt, threads or fibers, which arrived with the gasoline into the tank the
passage openings at the gasoline petcock clog and on the way the cause for an
involuntary fuel starvation. In order to avoid this, one must pour the gasoline by a
filter in the tank or by a funnel with a filter. In strong rain or snow it is advisable to
make the refuelling of the motorcycle at a protected place. While refuelling
PLEASE DO NOT SMOKE. Gasoline may not also overfilled. Furthermore one
must check whether in the crank case sufficient oil is present. It is to reach up to
the highest mark of the dipstick, not exceeding these however. Finally also the
tire pressure is to be examined and, if it is necessary, the tires inflated.

After completion of the inspection and refuelling one can start the engine.

Starting of the engine
To start the engine, the following is necessary:
1. The position of the shift lever for neutral.
2. The gasoline petcock open, which levers turn to the right on the letter 0 - open
- (fig. 4).
The letters in the illustration mean:
S - Cock closed, 0 - cock openly, R - cock on reserve consumption.

3. With cold engine put the ignition set lever on late ignition (the lever on the
handlebar), open the throttle slightly, press the carburetor tickler to overfill the
bowl, close the air flap and step several times on the starter to suck in the gas
mixture in the cylinders.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


4. With warm engine the ignition setting lever and the hand gas are indicated on
the same way to adjust as in point 3. The float bowl of the carburetor one does
not need to overflow, the choke is not to be closed and to mixture needs not to
be sucked in (no pre-kicking necessary). The ignition key is to be inserted
completely. If the position is correct, the red indicator light illuminates.

5. Sharply, but not too forcefully, the kick starter is to be pressed. After starting,
the engine must warm up. This is necessary, because the oil must be warmed
to properly lubricate, cold oil lubricates poorly. The engine must warm up with a
middle number of revolutions, one may never equal full power give. If the engine
is warm, one can open the choke.

Driving rules
When starting one must disengage the clutch completely and switch to 1st gear,
by pressing with the foot on the front pedal of the foot shift lever. One turns the
hand throttle lever to increase the number of revolutions of the engine and
engages 1st gear at the same time evenly. The motorcycle moves on that slowly
from the starting position. In no case one may engage quickly, since here the
power transmission is overloaded and the engine stops. One must also not
disengage the clutch at high RPM, however the number of revolutions must be
so large that the engine does not stop when engaging the clutch. If the
motorcycle in 1st gear reaches a speed of 10 to 15 km, one must on the 2nd gear.
For this one, if one disengaged and took gas away to press fast with the left foot
on the rear pedal of the foot shift lever has to in-couple then evenly again and
give somewhat more gases.

After one reaches a speed of 20 to 30 km, one switches to the same way the 3rd.
gear and at a speed of 35 to 40 km the 4th. gear. Afterwards the speed is
adjusted by the slide of the carburetors, i.e. by a turn of the throttle. Driving into
3rd and 4th gear with a smaller than the indicated speed is not permitted,
because here the engine lugs, with an overloading force, unevenly and jerkily.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


This is however very unfavorable for a motorcycle. One should also not drive a
longer time in the 1st and 2nd gears, if theroad conditions do not require because
the engine here develops high RPMs, is cooled poorly, and it is subjected to a
fast wear in addition driving in low gears leads, where this is not necessary, to an
increased consumption of fuel.

To start one may only in the 1st gear. With small driving speed and during travels
in the city one must use 3rd. and even the 2nd gear. Use gears and hold
themselves below to those speeds indicated.

One uses the clutch only when starting and when switching the gears. Coupling
is to take place calmly and evenly. Do not disengage the clutch slightly in order to
overcome an upward gradient and to increase the number of revolutions of the
engine and to let the clutch slip. In urban traffic conditions, where the driving
speed is often to be changed, one must switch and with gas, but do not adjust
speed by slipping of the clutch. Slipping the clutch entails a fast wear of the
clutch disks.

When braking one must disengage and step on the brake simultaneously. One
must brake carefully, because the possibility of hurling and tilting the motorcycle
is very large with sharp braking. Sharp braking is particularly dangerous in the
winter and on a wet road.

During the travel on a motorcycle also the ignition advance must be increased at
the same time with the increase of the number of revolutions of the engine, since
one cannot achieve otherwise the full power of the engine. One must make note
however of the fact that during too much spark advance the power of the engine
is reduced. If the spark advance is too advanced, then bright metallic ringing
sounds (pinging) with an increase of the load or sudden opening of the throttle
valve. In this case one must set the ignition lever to ignition retard.

Too much ignition retard causes an overheating of the engine except a power
loss also. In order to stop the ignition correctly, each driver must study and know
the motorcycle engine exactly.

During a travel on an upward gradient one must plan ahead and adjust the speed
of the machine in such a way that inevitable holding is avoided. If the upward
gradient is long, then one must drive the wheel out before that the whole upward
gradient or the largest part in 4th. gear is taken.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


If during the travel the engine is overloaded, then one must reset and to a smaller
gear and adjust the ignition.

During acceleration it is extremely important to pay attention to the condition of


the road since large holes can be the cause of accidents. If a motorcycle drives
near sufficient speed to a strong upward gradient and is in a high gear, then
switch to 2nd or 1st gear up to the end of the long hill. If the engine on the upward
gradient stops, one must hold the wheel with the emergency brake, start the
engine, switch to 1st gear, releasing the clutch and couples the brake at the same
time.

With steep departures in time 2nd or 1st gear is to be switched on and be braked
with the engine.

Short distances of dry, loose sand one is in 2nd or 1st gear with enough speed to
drive through and try to keep the same number of revolutions.

One must be reminded of the fact that a longer travel into the 1st and 2nd gear
can cause an overheating of the engine. Therefore you must occasionally stop, in
order to assist the engine cooling.

For the overcoming of distances with thick, tough dirt one must drive likewise as
with loose sand. If under the fenders much dirt has accumulated, the rotation of
the wheels becomes difficult, then one must continue and remove the dirt with
the help of an article (lever, assembly lever, stick).

One must drive over furrows and holes slowly and brake beforehand while
driving over them. One crosses deep ditches diagonally, at an angle, at slow
speed in 1st gear. When driving out of the ditch, give it gas.

Cross railroads and streetcar corssing at a right angle. If one approaches a


railway crossing, one must slow down, switching to 1st or 2nd gear and may not
switch when crossing the railway rails.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


During a travel with poor visibility (at night or fog) extreme caution is to be
practiced and remembered that the braking distance depends on the driving
speed and on the condition of the brakes and roads. Consequently one is to limit
the speed according to the view.

If one continues on the way, one is to let the motorcycle stand not on the road,
but on the side. In order to avoid a running out of the gasoline, the gasoline
petcock is to be closed when switching the engine off. In order to prevent a
draining of the battery, remove the ignition key.

Each day when shutting down the machine, you must make a daily inspection

It is particularly important to make certain that there are no oil and battery acid
leaks.

Breaking in a new motorcycle

Correct breaking in of a new motorcycle in increases the life span of the


machine. Breaking in is divided into two time periods, driving from 0 to 1000 km
and driving from 1000 to 2000 km. When breaking in one may not exceed the
following speeds:

Gear from 0 to 1000 km from 1000 to 2000 km

1 10 km/hr 15 km/hr
2 20 km/hr 35 km/hr
3 35 km/hr 50 km/hr
4 50 km/hr 70 km/hr

These speeds refer to the travel of a motorcycle with sidecar on even road. At
the carburetors automatic controllers are attached, which must be shortened
after first 1000 km and be removed completely after 2000 km. One is not to
completely rely however on the automatic controllers and to turn the limit the
speed. The best breaking in method, which ensures the fastest and most correct
flow of the rubbing parts, is an alternating driving acceleration up to the
maximally permissible speed on short distances (500 m) and a following
decelerating run with throttle back. After first 2000 km one is not to turn into
during a longer travel yet on full power. One can increase to the maximum
speed gradually, if one approaches 3000 km.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


With a run in machine (with sidecar) one may not exceed the following maximum
speeds:

Gear Km/hr
1 20
2 45
3 65
4 95

A new motorcycle requires increased attention during the time of breaking in, if
the rubbing parts run in. In this period one may drive the machine to overloads
and not on difficult ways.

One may not let the engine run with a high number of revolutions and overheat.
It is necessary to occasionally adjust the cylinder head pins tight for better
seating of the seals. During breaking in much attention must be paid to
lubricating the engine.

After first 500 km the used up oil is emptied, the oil pan is washed and fresh oil
up to the necessary height is again filled up.

The sequence with the oil change is:


Empty the oil only with a warm engine
Tighten the oil plug and fill up to the appropriate lever

Up to the completion of breaking in one must change the oil also at 1000 km.
At the conclusion of breaking in (after 2000 km) the oil in the engine, in the
transmission and in the rear transmission must be changed.

The sorts of the oils and quantities which can be used are indicated in the
Lubrications Table (page 67).

Guidance for care and adjustment

The Motor

The engine belongs to the construction and the technical values after to the
motorcycle high speed engines for route machines, since regardless of the
existing lateral valves the achievement and number of revolutions for engines of
this type are rather high.

The characteristic of this engine is the horizontal situation of the cylinders,
which ensure a good cooling and an even working of the engine. The
presenceofr a carburetor per cylinder is to increase the performance of the
engine, whereby the intake becomes balanced, which is connected with the
necessity for a completely even adjustment of the two carburetors.

The lubrication system of the engine has a combined pressure and spraying
lubrication system. A total lubrication pattern of the engine is fig. 6. The oil
pan pressed from a steel sheet forms the main oil reservoir. The oil is carried
from the oil pan by means of a gear pump by the mesh filter 18.
The oil pump is propelled by the cam shaft by a pair spiral toothed gears.
The oil pump has only one compression phase, which consists of a pair in the
pump housing of attached gear wheels.

The wheels press the oil into the main line 22. From the main line the oil runs
under pressure to four places: to 2 oil cups 12 by the channels 23 and 25 to
the left engine cylinder by the channel 5 and to the teeth of the drive wheel of
the crankshaft by the connecting piece 29.

The oil, which runs out out of the connecting piece, arrives at the gears of the
crankshaft and lubricates the gear teeth of the cam shaft and the generator.

The surplus oil runs off and flows back into the oil pan of the housing.
Into the oil cups the oil comes from the slots, which are in the seats of the
crankshaft ball bearings.

From the oil cups the oil runs into the holes of the crankpins and from there,
under the effect of the centrifugal energy, by the openings to the ball bearings
of the large piston rod heads.

The surplus oil runs out out of the oil cups and connecting rod bearings and
hurled around inside the housing.

The intensive pressure of the oil and the high temperature promote the design
of a fine oil mist in the housing, whereby the work surfaces of the cylinders,
the gudgeon pins, the sockets of the small piston rod heads, the cams, the
crankshaft ball bearings, which are lubricated tappet guides and the valves.

In order to ensure a better lubricating of the camshaft, there are special oiling
holes 6, in which a part of the around-hurled oil collects itself in the housing.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


From oiling holes the oil runs automatically to the bearings.
In a similar way the bearing of the oil pump drive wheel is lubricated.

The hurled oil arrives only in insufficient measure to the upper wall (in driving
direction) link cylinder, since this place is not attainable for oil droplets, which
are away-torn by the crankshaft turning in the clockwise direction.

The oil mist does not ensure however the necessary lubrication.

Therefore the channel 5 is led, by that the oil to an enular groove at the
cylinder flange runs and from there by three openings to the upper wall of the
left cylinder to the left cylinder.

In order to prevent a squeezing out of oil by the lubricators and seals for the
moment the mutual approximation of the pistons in both cylinders and also, in
order to prevent an unnecessary drop on the air pressure in the housing, a
tube end 6 is mounted at the end of the cam shaft (fig. 10).

During the mutual approximation of the pistons the opening in the tube end
coincides with the opening of the ventilation pipe 18 (fig. 5), and thereby the
housing is connected with outside air.

During the moving away of the pistons the tube end terminates the
connection of the housing with outside air, it develops a negative pressure,
and the oil mist is sucked off by the distribution gears into the housing.
Vibrating the oil prevents and takes the filter attached in the lower part of the
housing while driving the foam away.

The oil is cast in into the crankshaft housing through the filling hole locked by
the left side by with a screw connection 15 (fig. 5).

As a check of the oil level a dipstick with two marks is attached at the screw
connection of the filling hole.
The oil level is to go up to the upper mark, not exceed these and lower itself
in no case under the lower mark.

While checking the oil, one is not to screw in the dipstick. Used up oil is
removed by the orifice in the oil pan bottom, locked with the screw connection
16 (fig. 5). With this lubrication system one must not in the first few minutes
of operation rev the engine. Toward the lubrication one must direct the most
serious attention, because short suspending or an insufficient lubrication can
lead to heavy accidents. Signs of a insufficient lubrication are those
performance and the occurrence of knocking in the engine.

The fuel system supplying the engine takes place via two carburetors K - 37,
which are directly attached at the cylinders.

The fuel is supplied to the right and the left carburetor from the fuel tank by a
petcock and fuel piping.

Both carburetors have a common air cleaner (fig. 7), which is installed at the
transmission case, and a coupled throttle slidegate valve.
The air cleaner is provided with a choke, which facilitates a starting and a
warming up of the engine in cold weather.

The main cause of the wear of cylinders, pistons piston rings and all other
rubbing parts of the engine are dust and sand, which arrive by the carburetors
into the engine.

The life span of the engine depends on the perfect condition of the air. The air
purification process of the dust takes place in two stages.

Air occurring under the filter cover is thrown under the effect one at the cover of
fastened reflector on the mirrors the oil pan.

It steps under sharp change of direction into the neck of the air cleaner, which
has a metal wire screen.

Larger dust particles, which penetrate together with air, get into the surface of the
oil and into the panof the air cleaner

Smaller dust particles, which are drug along by the air flow, remain putting in the
oiled metal wire filling of the filter neck.

From the filter neck cleaned air arrives by the air lines at the carburetors. In the
housing of the air cleaner a disk is attached, which serves as gasket.

Treatment regulation for an air cleaner before start-up of the motorcycle, in


enterprise, is to be examined whether the air cleaner is soaked with oil.

For this is necessary:


1. The air cleaner from the neck in the transmission case remove and the lock
screws before loosen.
2. The upper cover of the air cleaner must be removed.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


If there is no oil present in the air filter one must loosen the lock nut and leave
those.
4. The oil of the exterior surface of the oil filter wipe off.
5. Pour oil up to the ring into the oil pan (200 ccm). When pouring in the oil the
top margin of the tub of the air cleaner must be horizontal.
6. The upper cover of the air cleaner remount and the filter to its place fasten.

Note:
1. The air cleaner will use the same oil as the engine. One can take used
engine oil for the air cleaner, only it must be filtered before.
2. If one received the motorcycle from the manufacturing firm, one needs to
examine only the presence of oil in the air cleaner.

If the motorcycle is in heavy use, one must control daily the oil level in the oil pan
and the degrees of the contamination.

It is advisable to make the following periodic washing of the air cleaner and an oil
change:

If the motorcycle on particularly dusty ways is driven, the air cleaner must,
without taking apart it, all 150 - 200 km to be washed, and under normal
conditions every 500 km.

Washing the air cleaner takes place in a container with petroleum or gasoline via
immersing and removing via strong vibrating for careful cleaning of the wire filling
from dust.

Complete taking of the air cleaner apart with the washing of the wire filling is
necessary every 2000 km.

Taking the air cleaner apart and washing the wire filling happen in the following
way:
1. The air cleaner is removed from the transmission case, after one loosened the
lock screw before.
2. The upper cover of the air cleaner is removed.
3. The dirty oil is discharged.
4. The oil absorber disk is removed, after the lock washer is taken out before.
5. The protecting filter and then the filling packages are taken out in sequence.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


6. The filter housing is cleaned by dirt. The filter and the filling are washed in
petroleum or gasoline. Afterwards one must dip and drip off let it into oil. Then
the filter is again assembled.
7. Building the air cleaner up takes place in the reverse order like a taking apart.
8. Soaking with oil happens according to the regulation indicated above.
9. After the air cleaner is soaked with oil, one remounts the upper cover, fastens
him, puts the air cleaner on the neck at the transmission case and secures him
with lock screws.

For easier starting of the engine with a contact oil air cleaner a choke is built into
the air lines of the carburetors.

With fully opened flap the lever is in extreme down position, with closed flap in
outermost forward position. (the lever is above.) One may use the choke only
for starting the cold engine.

The cold engine is started in the following way:


1. The choke is closed.
2. The float bowls must be overfilled.
3. Depress the kick start three or four times to bring in the fuel and air mixture.
4. The ignition switch on and by sharp stepping on the starter pedal the engine
start.
5. The engine to warm up let open and gradually the choke.

In order to prevent a contamination of the fuel supply system, a filter is inserted in


the filler necks of the gasoline tank, by which the fuel must be filled while
refuelling.

In addition the gasoline petcock (fig. 4) has a mesh filter and a sieve 4, at the
carburetor connecting pieces is small metal filters for the filtration of the fuel.

It is recommended to depart at 1000 km the dirt set off in the sieve to wash and
clean the fuel filters at the gasoline cock and at the carburetors, the carburetors
with gasoline to wash and the nozzles and channels to blow through.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


The signs of a contamination of the nozzles or a insufficient fuel supply show up
in a sudden and sharp power loss, slamming in the carburetor and in one the
position appropriate number of revolutions of the engine. In this case one must
check first whether the opening is dirty in the gasoline tank screw connection,
which makes the connection with outside air. Then one must close the gasoline
cock, which seiher remove and clean as well as wash the filter in it. After the
seiher is again attached, one must open the gasoline cock briefly and with a
pump blow through. If the carburetor (fig. 8) is dirty, one must take apart, wash
and clean it. For this one must unscrew the connecting piece 7, wash the
soldered on filter and the main jet with a pump blown through. For the cleaning
of the nozzle one may take a steel wire in no case, since thereby the nozzle bore
changed and so that the work of the carburetor can be disturbed.

For the cleaning of the no-load operation nozzle one, if it is necessary, must
loosen the screw 21, take the nozzle out and with a pump blown through. By
a turn of the screw 18 one can change the passage of the air duct and adjust
the quality of the mixture with low number of revolutions: by pivoting the
screw the mixture becomes richer and by unscrewing leaner. With the slide 2
the adjustment of the needle 12 is connected, which goes into the internal
channel of the main atomizing nozzle. In this way the fuel arrives at the
atomizer by the circular gap between the channel wall of the atomizer and the
needle. The needle has a conical form at the lower end, whereby when its
rising the circular gap becomes larger, which the atomizer supplied gasoline
quantity itself increased and which becomes a richer mixture.

The adjustment needle is connected with the slide by the split pin 22, which
goes crosswise through the openings in the throttle slidegate valve housing
and in the top of the needle. The needle four and the slidehouse two has
such openings, whereby the distance between the latters is one and a half
times larger than the distance between the openings in the needle.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


If one advances one of the openings in the needle to one of the openings in
the slide housing, one can receive eight different positions of the needle. The
more deeply the needle stands, the richer will the mixture, the further out, the
leaner the mixture. The even work of the two engine cylinders is ensured by
the simultaneous function of the carburetors. For this each carburetor is
separately tuned in the following order necessary:
1. Clean the carburetor
2. Start, and warm up the engine
3. Set he ignition setting lever to idle retard
4. The lock nut and the fixing bolt 19 (fig. 8) loosen and adjust so far tighten
that the slide 2 is easily lifted and the engine makes increase RPM
5. Firmly tighten the screw 18 for the adjustment of the mixture after the
engine RPMs decrease, by loosening the screw 19.
6. No-load operation-nozzle-attentively the work of the engine adjust, the
screw 18 for the adjustment of the mixture loosen and such a position
give, at which the engine with highest number of revolutions works evenly.
Then the screw 19 unscrew and the number of revolutions to the extreme
reduce. As soon as the adjustment has been completed one must secure
the screws 18 and 19 by lock nuts.
7. Raise the slide of the carburetor which can be adjusted by hand in place
of the cable, if thereby an increase of the number of revolutions is
reached. Thus the attitude is terminated. Adjust the second carburetor in
the same manner. In order to receive an even synch of the carburetors,
one must jack up the motorcycle, start the engine and switch to 4th gear.
Then switch a cylinder off (ignition cables decrease) and the number of
revolutions of the engine increase, until the pointer of speedometer
concerned at 30 km. Some minutes with this function wait, then the
working cylinder off switch and the other cylinder on switch. If one opens
or closes the butterfly valve somewhat, one achieves the same
tachometerstand with the help of the cable delimitation. Since such an
adjustment lasts a long time, one must be careful not to overheat the
engine.

Adjusting Valve Clearance
The normal operation of the engine is due to a large extent of a correct valve
adjustment. The correct adjustment of the play is an absolute condition for
the maximum output of the engine. The adjustment of the play between the
valve stems and the tappets takes place after grinding the valves in. The size
of the play must after each 500 -- 1000 km to be controlled. The adjustment
of the play must be made in the following way:

1. To be removed the screw 11 (fig. 9) is to be solved and the covers as well


as the seal. 2. The crankshaft is to be turned, until the intake valve closes.
(between the tappet and the shank of the exhaust valve a play must be
clearly visible.) In this position the play of the exhaust valve is to be adjusted.

generator, 5. Ignition tap, 6. Channel of the filler neck

Then one continues to turn the crankshaft of the engine up to the moment, if
the exhaust valve begins to lift oneself and the play of the intake valve
adjusts. For the adjustment of the play one must loosen the lock nut 8 to
something and turn the pin 7 of the tappet in or other direction,

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


after which it is necessary to increase or make the play smaller. The you
must secure the adjusting screw. One must make the adjustment of the play
with cold engine, the play is here 0.1 mm. If a play is not at all or only very
small present, then the valve will rest upon not firmly for the moment
reasoning the valve seat. During a necessary dismantling and composition of
the engine the correct adjustment is determined by meeting the adjusting
markings (fig. 10) at the wheels of the crankshaft and the cam shaft. Every
7500 to 8000 km must the valves be ground in and the cylinders and pistons
oil carbon cleaned.

The clutch
The construction of the clutch of the motorcycle M -- 72 is very simple. The
correct use of the clutch increases its life span substantially.

You must not drive with a slipping clutch. When starting and after switching
the gears one must couple evenly and softly. Hard coupling with high number
of revolutions of the engine leads not only to a fast wear of the linings of the
clutch disks, but overloaded also the parts of the power transmission and
increases the wear of the tires. With the help of the thumbscrew 2 (fig. 11)
the tension of the clutch rope is placed behind occasionally. The cable
tension must be adjusted in such a way that the clutch lever (the left lever at
the steering wheel) in free 4 -- has 5 mm of air. With this space the clutch will
not slip, but will work reliably.

The transmission

The care of the transmission (fig. 12) is limited to the punctual refill and/or
changes of the oil (see chapter "lubricating of the motorcycle"). The oil level
is to go up to the lower thread of the oil filler screw connection. With dividing
the transmission or during the working the necessity can occur to adjust the
switch mechanism for the even work of foot and hand clutch. The adjusting
screws must stand in such a way that the determination recesses of the
segment in all courses fit the ball of the clamp. An uneven work of the foot
and hand clutch is determined in the following way:
l. During the transition from a small to a larger gear, D h. during a raising of
the front pedal of the foot shift lever upward up to the notice, the quadrant
shifts insufficiently and the determination recess of the segment comes not up
to the determination ball. One can recognize this easily, if the hand at the
gearshift lever is hard. With a pedal of the shifter lifted up to the notice the
hand lever moves thereafter the position of the clutch lever is somewhat
forward and only held. In the available case one must loosen the lock nut and
unscrew the lower adjusting screw of the shift mechanism accordingly.

The power transmission

In no case one is to take the power transmission mechanism apart (fig. 14)
without compelling necessity if for any reason a dismantling took place, then it
is extremely important when building up to use the same adjustment disks
which were installed by the factory. By these disks the play between the
wheel teeth adjusted after tightening all nuts/boltd to have the wheels easily
with the hand to be moveable without wedge and seize. One must be able to
feel air between the wheel teeth with the rotation of the drive shaft with locked
hub of the propelled gear wheel with the hand. If with the flow of the parts air
becomes larger, then one must add an adjustment disk of appropriate
strength.

The periodic lubricating of the power transmission is indicated in the chapter
"the lubricating of the motorcycle".

The oil level in the housing of the power transmission is to go up to the lower
threads of the oil filler screw connection.

In the Kardan crosshead 15 (fig. 14) is a stuffing box.

For the lubricating of the universal joint one must push the rubber seal ring 18

The front suspension
the motorcycle M -72 has a telescope front fork with feathers/springs and oleo
dampers The oleo damper serves to accomodate oscillations, which develop
in the fork during a travel on an uneven road.

absorber seaweeds, 5. Shock absorber seals, 6. Shock absorber piston, 7. End piece of the
fork feather/spring, 8. Pipe of the shock absorber housing, 9. Discharge screw

This fork system is characterised by special softness. The general opinion in


the work situation is shown in fig. 15, on average in fig. 16. Two immovable
steel tubes 3 (fig. 16) are with one another connected in two places firmly:
above by the cross beam 12 and down by a bridge of the steering shaft 13.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


Into the bridge a bar of the steering shaft 21 is pressed in, by which the fork is
connected with the framework. Outside, along the pipes, the end pieces of
the fork feathers/springs 7 move in the cans 14 and 11. The lower cans 11
are fastened to the rigid pipes, while the upper are pressed into the end
pieces of the feathers/springs. At the bridge and at the feather/spring end
pieces with the help of the end pieces 19 and 20 fastened spiral springs 2 are
the main shock absorbers of the fork.

In the fork pipes is hydraulic (oil more) steering damper inserted, which is
intended to the improvement of the absorption with strong impacts and for the
admission of the oscillations of the fork. The upper ends shock absorber
seals of the 5 are fastened in the tightening nuts l, while at the lower rod ends
guidance 10 with slots are mounted. Between the guidance and the banking
pins steel check valves or piston 6 are inserted. The bars are inserted into
pipes, which are fastened in the feather/spring end pieces by nuts/bolts 18.
In the top of the pipes the sockets 4 are fastened on lock rings, which serve
for the adjustment of the bars and for the quantity of the oil, which goes
through by the gap between socket and bar. In the lower part of the pipes are
openings, by which the oil flows through.

If the wheel rides on an obstacle, the mobile pieces of feather/spring raise


themselves, the oil in the pipes press on the pistons 6 and, by raising up to
the banking pins 22, runs by the gap between the pistons and the bars and
partly flows off by the openings. With very hard impacts the oil does not
succeed in running out fast next to the pipes and forms for the movement of
the feathers/springs a hydraulic resistance. The pressed together
feathers/springs throw the mobile fork feathers/springs downward back and
try to press the oil together which is over the pistons; the latters press
themselves to the guidance 10. The oil, which is squeezed out by the gap
between the bars 5 and the sockets 4 as well as by the gap between the
exterior surfaces of the pistons 6 and pipes 8, flows off into the oil reservoir.

In this way the hydraulic shock absorber weakens not only the impacts taken
up by the fork, but stops also a loss of control of the motrocycle, if it slips from
an unevenness of the way. The shock absorber prevents also a jumping of
the motorcycle and the emergence of longitudinal oscillations of the
motrocycle.

Into each fork feather/spring 80 -- 100 ccm oil is filled. For this the tightening
nut l must be unscrewed. The oil is removed from the fork feathers/springs by
outflow holes, which sit in the lower part of the end pieces and are locked by
the drain screw connections (screws). In order to take the shock absorbers
out of the fork, it is sufficient, to remove the nut/bolt 18 and the tightening nut
l. In the center of the fork the wing nut of the shock absorber, which must be
tightened or loosened, is dependent upon the condition of the road and the
driving speed. An additional lubricating of the suspension is not necessary.
The dead point in the camps of the steering shaft can eliminate itself by
tightening the nut/mother 23 present under the cross beam. Pulling this
nut/bolt tight must absolutely take place every 1000 km. The steering wheel
of the motorcycle is firmly connected with the fork, and therefore all
movements of the steering wheel are transferred by the fork to the front
wheel.

The suspension of the rear wheel
the suspension of the rear wheel (fig. 17) offers a driving comfort in
connection with the telescope front fork even on bad roads. Construction
principle of the rear wheel suspension is the same as with the front
suspension. The whole load, which comes on the rear wheel, is transferred
by spiral springs, which weaken the impacts in the case of the rear-end
collision of the motorcycle into an obstacle. Strong shocks are caught by the
rubber buffers 7.

The brakes

The brakes are very important main parts of the motorcycle. Both brakes,
both the hand and the foot brake, are block brakes. There is aluminum
cheeks also on them fastened, replaceable friction washers.

The quality of driving depends to a considerable degree on the perfect


condition of the brakes, and therefore they must be controlled on that
systematically.

The parking brake cable wears in heavy use gradually, and the friction types
of both the hand and the foot brake shoes wear themselves out. Therefore
the play of the hand brake handle and the foot brake pedal becomes larger,
and the work of the brakes worsens gradually.

For adjustment the emergency brake is intended at the brake disk a special
screw (fig. 19). When unscrewing this screw the dead play of the hand brake
handle is reduced. The emergency brake should be so adjusted the fact that
braking with a turn of the lever around 5 -- begins 10 mm. The attitude of the
foot brake takes place with the help of the wing nut l (fig. 11), which is at the
end of the brake play.

The foot brake must be so adjusted the fact that braking when pressing the
foot brake pedal down around 10 -- begins 15 mm. A slight play is absolutely
necessary with the hand brake handle and with the foot brake pedal, since
otherwise the brake drums heat up continuously and excessively wear
themselves out as the friction increases at the brake shoes. If these brake
linings in the driving gather oil and do not ensure no the necessary braking
action, then one must wash and dry them carefully with gasoline. With long
departures the wheel must be braked alternating with the hand and with the
foot brake, in order to prevent an overheating of the brakes. With steep
departures one must brake also with the engine, by switching a low gear.

One must brake softly and increase only gradually the pressure on levers and
pedal. One obtains the best braking action, if the wheels still turn. Therefore
one may not block the wheels when braking.

This is particularly inadmissible on a wet or smudgy road, if the motorcycle


gains speed.

lubricators, which are screwed in into the wheel hubs. In order to remove the
front wheel, the following is necessary: 1. The nuts/bolts remove, that hold
the bracing of the wheel at the shield, and the machine jack up. 2. The
adjusting screw 4 of the front wheel brake cable completely firmly turn and it

The tires

The care of the tires is limited to daily control of the air pressure the hoses (see
chapter "technical data"). Damaged places of the bearing surface must be
repaired by vulcanization after the return to the garage. The rear tire runs under
less favourable conditions. In order to ensure an even wear of all tires, one must
change all 2000 km the wheels, i.e. the rear wheel against the front wheel, the
sidecar wheel against the spare wheel and the spare wheel against the rear
wheel.

Removing the tires

In order to remove the tires, the following is necessary:


l. From the valve air is to be released completely.
2. The valve must be unscrewed an pushed inward
3. The wheel is on the earth to put one must with both feet on the tire place
themselves and the bulge into the low bed of the rim press.
4. About 1/4 of the rim extent far away from the valve are to be squeezed out
with assembly levers bulge over the wheel rim.
5. Under progressive movement of the two assembly levers gradually the whole
bulge is to be taken out of the rim. The hose is to be taken out and, if the tire
must be removed completely, is it with the second bulge of the tire likewise to be
made.

Patching the tubes

The defective place of a tube is to be recognized by the noise of escaping air. If


the hole is very small, one must place the tube in water. The ascending bubbles
indicate then the defective place. One must wash off and with a file or with
sandpaper and roughen these up with pure gasoline. If one does not have
special patches, one must cut a piece out rubber, likewise wash off and with a file
or with something sandpaper aand roughen it up with pure gasoline. Then one
must coat the damaged place and the mark in such a way with adhesive that the
coated place of the hose is larger in the diameter about 1 cm than the mark.
After approximately 10 minutes one coats the hose and the mark for the second
time, lets both dry, puts then the mark on the damaged place and presses it in
slightly firmly.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


If in the repair box of the motorcycle special marks with a laid on glue layer and a
gauze protection are present, one must remove the protective layer in this case
and the mark on the defective hose place to put to clean before with adhesive to
coat and dry is applied. On the special mark no adhesive needs to be laid on. A
defective valve insert is to be replaced immediately.

If between the valve and the hose air comes out, one must seat the valve rim
nut/washer.

Tire assembly
the assembly of tires must be made in the following order:
1. It is to be checked whether out of the tire all foreign particles are removed,
which can have caused or cause a damage of the hose.
2. If during removing the tire also the rim liner was removed, then one must
insert it when assembling again. The hole in the liner must fit exactly on the hole
in the rim. The rim volume is to cover all heads of the spokes.
3. As soon as one brought a part of the tire bead into the rim, one must draw the
whole bulge up with the help of the assembly levers on the rim.
4. The inner surface of the tire is to be covered with talcum powder to insert the
valve into the rim hole to screw on and in such a way insert the one little inflated
hose into the tire the nut/washer 2 to 3 courses that it does not have anywhere a
fold.
5. Before one draws the other bulge up of the cover, is the valve, if those is well
into the low bed of the rim brought bulge here to imprint up to the rim nut/washer.
6. To be held the other bulge of the tire is the cover with the feet from the valve
facing the side to be drawn up and in this situation.
7. The bulge of the tire is arranged with the hands in the rim, by after-seizing
gradually ever further all around.
8. If about 2/3 the bulge are drawn up, on the cover it is pressed in such a way
that this part slips into the low bed of the rim and with assembly levers then
retrieved the remaining bulge.
9. The valve is now pushed back completely, the hose is inflated and the tire is
so for a long time all around knocked off with a hammer, until it sits evenly on the
whole rim.
10. The rim nut/washer of the valve is inflated firmly tightened, the hose up to
the prescribed tire pressure, the valve insert is screwed in and the valve flap is
put on. If the tire sits correctly in the low bed of the rim, one can implement the
whole work with two assembly levers. By too much force one can damage the
cover and the wire rope in the bulge.

The sidecar the motorcycle M - 72 is a sidecar machine. There are two kinds of
sidecar for the M - 72. l. with a rigid attachment of the wheel on one doubles
stored axle and 2. with a torsion suspension of the wheel on a console axle.
Since 1954 the Kiewer manufactures motorcycle factory sidecar with a torsion
suspension. The sidecar is fastened to the front crossbar with the help of two
clips with rubber linings. At the rear part of the framework plates are welded to
the lateral pipes, on which the feathers/springs are fastened. At the
feathers/springs the sidecar is attached by shoes, which can move along the
feathers/springs. The shoes are connected with a cross beam, which is fastened
with rubber bushes to the sidecar body by hinges. For the lubricating of the
shoes stuffing boxes are attached.
With strong oscillations of
the sidecar the impacts are
caught by two buffers,
which are fastened to the
rear crossbar. The spare
wheel is installed on the
flap of the baggage
compartment. The sidecar
is fastened to the
motorcycle to two points
(fig. 22). The lower
fastening spots represent
two pliers hinges (fig. 23),
which cover the ball joints
of the framework and fixing
bolts of the engine. The
rear pliers hinge is
mounted at a bent lever,
which is screwed by two
tension bolts onto the
sidecar framework. With
loosened tension bolts the
bent lever can be turned or
pulled out after the side.

The upper attachment consists of two tie bars, which are adjusted after the
length. The front tie bar has a gelenkverbindung with an eye of the sidecar
framework and with the frame support of the motorcycle. The middle tie bar
is connected with the crossbar of the sidecar by clips and has the same
gelenkverbindung with the motorcycle framework as the front tie bar.

Sidecar with torsion suspension are characterised by a soft ride of the wheel
and by larger longevity. Into these side cars into the rear transverse pipe of
the framework a torque shaft with a kleinschlitzigen connection is built,

at the internal end of the crossbar into an immovable slot socket goes and from
the outside side by a supporting socket passes through. On the stepping out
slots of the wave a support is put on, which is tightened by clamps. At the
opposite end of the support the console axle of the wheel is mounted. During
this construction the fitted with springs wheel, if it follows the unevenness of the
road, in the vertical level will swing. With an increase of the load the torque shaft
pulls and the wheel together lifts oneself to the body. In the case of a decrease
of the load the wave frees itself due to its elasticity, and the wheel lowers itself.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


In this way all on the sidecar and the motorcycle, as with a rigid attachment, but
only one part of the wheel oscillations do not become transferred. When the
assembling of the sidecar with torsion suspension the tension of the torque shaft
takes place via an adjusting screw in the way that the lever of the wheel axle
affects the lower notice of the delimitation.

A motorcycle with a correctly installed sidecar travels well on the road.


Otherwise the motorcycle is pulled in or other direction. The attachment of the
sidecar is regulated according to the load and the road condition. Such an
adjustment of the assembly of the sidecar takes place in the form that one
proceeds from conditions most frequently which can be found.

The permissible size of the deviation of the wheel levels is 10 mm on the length
of the wheel base. With measuring one must set the dipstick as closely as
possible on the point of contact of thehub (fig. 24).

The lateral angle of inclination of the motorcycle axle to the vertical level can
amount to to 2°. When the assembling of the sidecar all joints must be greased.
During the attitude of the deviation of the wheel levels one must loosen the
tension bolts, which hold the bent lever, to something. By pushing in and pulling
out of the framework cross beam one finds the necessary deviation of the wheel
levels and controls her by two straight wood slats (or strings), which 90 -- 100
mm far away from the ground on which the wheels sit. One gets the necessary
lateral angle of inclination by an extension or a reduction of the upper tie bars
which are adjustable in the length.

One checks the correct assembly of the sidecar by a travel for even road.

These sketches are drawn exact and give a sufficient clear conception of the
work principle of the electrical apparatuses and of the assembly of the lines.

Generator and relay automatic controller

The motorcycle M -- a direct current generator of the type G -- 11 has 72 -- A with


excitation. The generator with the nominal tension of 6 V and the nominal
amperage of 7 ampere is intended for the common work with the relay automatic
controller RR -- l or RR -- 31 according to an a cable pattern. At the generator
housing are two connecting terminals, + and --. The positive brushes of the
generator is connected with mass.

The generator is the source of supply for all power and serves also for the
loading of the battery while driving. The generator becomes of the cam shaft
with the reduction ratio l: 3 in turn set. The generator wave turns thus l 1/2 time
faster than the crankshaft.

Without load the generator develops a tension of 6.5 V, which is sufficient over
the relay for the connection to the entire net, at a number of revolutions of the
anchor of no more than 1350 U/min. During the nominal load of 7 ampere the
generator gives a tension of 6.5 V at a number of revolutions of the anchor of
2000 U/min.

From these data it is evident that immediately after starting the engine, if this
reaches the work number of revolutions, which produces generator river, which is
sufficient for the supply of the power consumers, and that she switches herself
on into the net.

The relay automatic controller consists of two electromagnetic apparatuses, the


reverse current relay and the voltage regulator. They are in a common housing
and serve for the automatic in and disconnection for the net, for the automatic
Spannungsreglung of the generator and for their protection from an overloading
as well as for the protection of the battery from a too strong charging current.
The reverse current relay is a switch, which is necessary for the parallel work of
the generator with the battery. The generator switches itself on automatically
with the help of the relay into the net, if the tension at the clamps of the generator
6.5 -- 7.2 V reaches, i.e. if the tension of the generator is larger than those the
battery.

The generator switches itself off from the net, if its tension smaller than those the
battery will and if over the generator river of the battery begins to flow off. The
strength of the current reversal, with which the generator of the net switches itself
off, is equivalent 0,5 -- 3.5 ampere.

The voltage regulator is an electromagnetic vibration apparatus. It switches


periodically an additional resistance on into the circle of the energizing winding of
the generator. Thereby one achieves the automatic tension adjustment of the
generator with a change of the number of revolutions of the anchor and the load
of the generator. The voltage regulator reacts not only to the height of the
tension, but also to the height of the load, without permitting an excessive load.
One reaches this by a decrease of the tension which can be regulated with an
increase of the load of the generator.

The relay automatic controller is regulated of the manufacturing firm and requires
no care. The factory pre-set to hurt or the relay automatic controller open, is
strictly forbidden. The housing is lead-sealed, and if the plombe is removed, with
a defect no complaints are recognized by the factory.

When the assembling of the relay automatic controller at the motorcycle one
must make certain that he has a reliable connection with the mass. For this the
attaching pin of the relay automatic controller a special metal panel is under one.
This panel may not be damaged when the assembling of the relay automatic
controller. With the relay automatic controller RR -- 31 is the mass the apparatus
housing, which is connected with the mass of the motorcycle by the fixing bolts of
the relay automatic controller. In addition a special clamp is as safe contact on
the right apparatus side.

The generator G -- 11 -- A is installed at the top of the crankshaft housing in a


particularly pre-adjusted place and protected against an oh shift by a special
notice. The generator is fastened by a band. Since the armature shaft of the
generator is eccentrically mounted to the housing, air between the wheel teeth is
adjusted by a turn of the generator. Air should be like that that the wheels do not
make noise after starting the engine, on the other hand one is the teeth in
addition, not to seize.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


In the case of a coincidental stretch of the band a turn of the generator can take
place. In order to prevent a food of the teeth, the generator must be so installed
on the crankshaft housing that its wheel is right from the housing axle, if one
sees from the side oppositely from the drive.

The wheel of the generator is fastened on the armature shaft with the help of a
laengskeils and supports themselves with its edge by the internal race of the ball
bearing. When the assembling of the Rades one must bring it firmly to to the
camp. With a strammen seat of the Rades on the wave one must remove the
quill 2 (fig. 27), place the generator wave (from the side of the collector ago) on
any support and watch out the wheel with an easy hammer blow.

Periodically, all 500 km, one must control the generator attachment at the
crankshaft housing and the attachment of the lines at the clamps. If that band
stretched, one must pull it tight. If required one must to be regulated air above
indicated in the gear wheels as.

All 3000 to 5000 km one must examine the condition of the brushes and the
collector. For this one must remove the schutzband 3, raise and check the
buerstenfeder whether the brushes shift into the holding easily and whether
they are not too much worn out.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


If the brush sticks, one must abrade it and the owner with a rag soaked with
gasoline. If one or both brushes are strongly worn out, they have to be
replaced by new, which one ground in before with emery cloths at the
collector elbow. In the case of a contamination or an oiling of the collector
one must abrade him with a rag dampened with gasoline. Periodically also
the anchor camp must ago be lubricated by the side of the collector, to which
the quill is to be decreased before.

In order to get when dividing and building the generator and other
apparatuses of the electrical equipment up no short-circuit, one must
separate above all the battery from the mass. If while driving because of any
defects the indicator light goes out only with high routes of the engine or goes
out not completely, then it is necessary as a check of the intact condition of
the generator and the relay automatic controller to proceed in the following
way:

1. The intact connection of the lines is to be examined.

2. To switch on and the engine start the lines of the clamps + and -- from the
generator are to be removed, + the clamp is by any leader on mass to be
put, between -- clamp and the mass a transportable 6-Volt-Lampe. If the
lamp is on, then this means that the generator is correct. One must
remember that one may not let the engine run with such a control with
high routes, since otherwise, if the generator is correct, the lamp burns
through inevitably. After control the lines must be brought back to their
place.

3 If the generator is correct, one must remove the line, which proceeds from
the clamp R of the relay automatic controller, as a check of the relay
automatic controller from the clamp 30/51 of the central switch and switch
a lamp on between this line and the mass. If after starting the engine the
lamp shows or does not burn a weak glowing at all, then this is called that
the relay automatic controller is defective. With this control of the relay
automatic controller one can bring the engine on high routes, without
having to fear that the lamp burns through.

The Battery

The motorcycle has a 6-Volt-Saeure-Batterie with plates, type SMT -- 14, with
a capacity of 14 Amp./Std..

The positive terminal is attached to ground, the negative pole to the wiring.
The battery is the only power source of the motorcycle while stationary and
with the work of the engine at low RPM, the generator does not supply power.
During a night travel also fully switched on power consumers, with temporary
short overloads, when switching on of the signal on and at low speed into 4.
Course is insufficient the stromabgabe of the generator and by the battery is
supplemented. Therefore it is advisable, in order to avoid an unloading of the
battery to drive during nocturnal travels in the city during good road lighting
with small light.

While driving one must make certain that the battery will not excessively
drain. During strong draining of the battery the plates cover themselves with
a layer of sulfur-sour lead, i.e. it takes place a sulfation of the plates. The
sulfur-sour lead of the plates is a steady connection. A battery, in the case of
which the plates are covered with sulfur-sour lead, charges badly and
discharges very fast.

One can judge the degree of the loading of a battery by the tension and the
density of the electrolyte. The tension of each element of a fully charged
battery is equivalent 2,1 -- 2.2 V. With unloading the tension falls fast on 2 V
and lowers themselves then gradually up to 1.7 V. In no case the tension
may go under this limit.

The statement of the degree of the charge is safer after the density of the
electrolyte, which is measured with an specific gravity gauge. The density of
the electrolyte is to amount to in the case of a fully charged battery 32°
Baumé, which corresponds to a specific weight of 1,285. In the winter, with
strong, frost, one must bring the specific weight of the electrolyte up to 1,3 --
1.32 (33 -- 35° Baumé). If, while the motorcycle is in service, the specific
weight is reduced up to 1,25, then this is called that the battery is empty and
must be absolutely filled.

A decrease of the specific weight under l, 25 is inadmissible. The density of


the electrolyte is to be controlled all 1500 km or every two weeks.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


The density of the electrolyte one must respect particularly in the winter. One
must consider that a fully charged battery freezes only at a temperature of
minus 50°, while a drained battery will freeze at minus 6°.

The conditions of the electrolyte in the battery are to exceed the upper disk
edges around 10 -- 15 mm. During service the water evaporates. Therefore
one, if the conditions of the electrolyte are lower in the battery than the
indicated border, must distilled water on the elements refill.

One must make certain that the battery is kept always clean and that the
openings in the fillers do not get dirty.

In the case of longer sitting without charging the battery discharges gradually.
If the battery is not used, one must load it monthly about 2 hours or so with 1-
Ampere-Strom unload, electrolyte to pour off, which rinses elements out
several marks with warm water and which keep battery in dry condition. If
loaded batteries longer time stand, one must reload, unload and again load
them each half-year.

If the battery is in service, the clamps must always with a thin layer of
technical vaseline or grease to be provided.

New motorcycles receive the buyers both with loaded and with dry,
uncharged batteries. Dry batteries must before start-up with electrolyte
(GOST 667 -- 53) with a specific weight of 1,120 and a temperature of 20 --
25° to be full-filled. In order to manufacture electrolyte, one must pour battery
sulfuric acid in distilled or rain water, but in reverse. The first charge begins 2
-- 3 hours after filling up the elements with electrolyte and with an amperage
of 2 ampere. If the tension in each element 2.38 -- 2.42 V reached, the
amperage on l ampere is lowered and loading up to the conclusion is
continued. First loading takes approximately 35 -- 45 hours. The signs of the
completion of loading are: A) plentiful gas elimination in all elements, b)
stability of the tension to the Poland of the elements in the course of 2 hours,
C) stability of the density of the electrolyte in the course of 2 hours.

When loading the temperature of the electrolyte is not to exceed 45 °. If the


temperature is higher, loading must be cooled down be interrupted,
electrolyte at 30 -- 35 ° and be continued loading only then again.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


After first loading it is advisable, before the battery is inserted, to unload and
then again load it of in until twice again. The loading takes place with the
river of a ten-hour regime according to the table for the batteries Smt-14.

Regime Current Capacity in Amp/Hours Final tension


Strength Nominal Guaranteed in the element
Amperes in volts
10 hours 1 10 1.7
3 hours 3 3.4 1.65
30 minutes 11 5.5 1.55

The tension at the conclusion of the loading is brought up to 1.7 V of each


element. The second and next loading takes place with a river from 2
ampere. As soon as the tension of each element up to 2,38 -- 2.42 V rose,
the amperage up to l ampere is lowered and the loading with this amperage
up to the conclusion is accomplished. With this river up to the conclusion one
loads, which is determined by the characteristics stated above.

At the end of the second and following loadings the specific weight of the
electrolyte brought on 1,285 by Zugiessen of distilled water or of acid with a
specific weight of 1,40, according to whether the density of the electrolyte is
to be increased or reduced. At expiration of 15 -- 20 minutes the density of
the electrolyte is controlled, and if it 1,285 is not alike, the work is repeated,
electrolyte is sucked off and water or acid in addition-poured.

Circuit breakers, distributor, ignition coil,

over the lateral contact plate alternating to the carbon contacts of the lateral
connections of the cover, of where it arrives over the high voltage
transmission lines at the candles.

Fig 29
The situation of the ignition coil industrial union -- 4085 – B

The circuit breaker consists of a housing and a disk, on which the hammer
and the anvil are fastened. With a movement of the ignition hand lever on the
left side of the steering wheel the rope pulls on the disk and turns it, whereby
also the early and spaetzuendung are stopped. On the disk the screw 3 is
fastened with an eccentric head (adjustment eccentric cam), which goes in
into a cutout of the housing. Depending upon the position of the eccentric
cam in or other situation changes the maximum angle, in which the circuit
breaker disk can turn. With the plate can turn outermost position of the
eccentric cam around 15°, with second around 20°, whereby the enlargement
of the angle of rotation of the disk of 15 on 20° in the direction of an
enlargement of the maximum angle of the spark advance develops. The
minimum angle of the spaetzuendung remains unchanged. As soon as the
adjustment has been completed the eccentric cam into the desired situation
one must secure it with a lock nut.

In the top of the circuit breaker housing a condenser is inserted, which serves
the sparking of the breaker points for the decrease and for the protection from
a burn.

The distance between the breaker points should be during full interruption 0.4

turning the screw with the eccentric cam head 13. After the attachment of the
screw 12 the distance between the contacts is to be examined again.

On the circuit breaker disk a support with a feather/spring and felt is


appropriate. This felt serves for the lubricating of the circuit breaker finger.
One must soak felt with oil, according to the data, which are made in the
chapter "lubricating of the motorcycle".

The circuit breaker disk 20 is put on on the wave or down-taken by it in such a


position, if the screw is opposite the cutout in the circuit breaker housing. The
disk is set as deeply as possible on the end of the wave, but so that it does
not wedge the hammer of the circuit breaker.

Before one puts the circuit breaker cover on, one must the presence of the
spring clip, for which coals and the seals in the cover control. For the engine
of the Rades M-72 one uses candles of the type WELL 11/11 A -- U with the
thermal value 145. The distance between the electrodes of the candles
should be 0.5 -- 0.6 mm. The attitude of the distance takes place via bending
the lateral electrode.

After each 1500 km put back by the motorcycle the following is necessary:

l. The condition of the work surfaces of the contacts of the circuit breaker and
the size of the distance between them are to be examined. If the contacts are
processed or burned down, then one must remove the hammer and the anvil,
which clean and with gasoline wash contacts with a kontaktfeile.
2. One must examine the distance of the electrodes of the candles and clean
her if required of oil coal.
3. One must examine all 3000 -- 5000 km the connections of the lines for
security. Suspending the engine and the difficulty or even the impossibility of
starting the engine, can be based on different reasons by defects of the
ignition apparatuses.

The hauptsaechlichsten is the following:
1. Oiling the breaker points; in this case one must abrade and prevent it
with a small cloth dipped into gasoline that oil arrives into the circuit breaker.
2. Clamp the circuit breaker hammer.
3. Burn the breaker points.
4. Short-circuit in the condenser (the condenser is pierced).
5. Pollution of the candles.
6. Tears in the isolation of the candles.
7. Pierce the taping of the ignition coil.
8. Unload of the battery.
9. Line damage. An overheating of the engine can occur by spaetzuendung
due to wedging the rope of the zuendleitung or by wedging the circuit breaker
hammer.

The signal

at the motorcycle is a vibration signal of the type S -- 35 -- A, which is


switched on by a button at the steering wheel. The attitude of the signal takes
place via the in or unscrewing of a screw, which is at the rear part of the
signal.

The headlight

at the motorcycle M-72 is a headlight of the type fG -- 6 attached, into except


a two-thread pear for small and large light and a parking light pear still the
speedometer, which is inserted to central ignition switches with key and the
dimmer switch.

The central ignition switch is in the top of the headlight and is there fastened
with 3 screws. In the left part of the central ignition switch the indicator light
lies, in the right fusible 15-Ampere safety device.

For the replacement of a burned through safety device one needs to unscrew
only the fuse holder, with which together the safety device can be taken out.
If the motorcycle stands, one may let the ignition key be in no case
completely imprinted in the starter lock, because then the battery can
discharge of the ignition coil over the main coil.

©Translated 2-2006 curt@curtperedina.com v. 1.0


Thereby only the battery does not become useless, but it can burn through
also the ignition coil. If the indicator light burns, then this means that the
supply of all power consumers takes place from the battery. The control lamp
expire in the moment, if the relay contacts are closed and the generator
switches itself on into the net.

Fig 31
Sketch for adjustment the headlight

Direction of the light cone to receive, takes place in the following way:
1. The motorcycle with load is set up on an even place before a white wall or
a light light at a distance of 10 m up to the headlight glass (fig. 31).
2. The headlight is held in such a position, with which the axle of the light
cone of the large light is horizontal, D h. if the center light spots on the light
screen and the center of the headlight in the same distance from the ground
are.
3. The small light is controlled on that. The top margin of the Lichtfleckens
on the light screen does not have to be to less than 10 cm when switching on
small of the light on under the center of the headlight.

The lines

the connection of the lines in the fig. 25 and 26 one shows. The low-voltage
lines are combined in bundles and have into the easier assembly different
colors.

All 3000 -- 5000 km must one the condition of the line isolations and the
perfect attachment of the cable ends and line ends examine. On the good
condition of the electrical equipment the perfect enterprise of the motorcycle
depends. Regular controls of the battery, the distributor, the candles, the
generator and the lines ensure a troublefree work of the electrical installation.

The lubricating of the motorcycle

the lubricating of the motorcycle is to take place regularly, carefully and in


time, since short omitting of the lubrication accidents can pull after itself and
make the machine useless.

the season. When lubricating the main parts of the motorcycle, which are to
be taken apart for this, the old oil and/or fat must be removed, it must when
the assembling thickly with fresh fat be in-lubricated. Fig. 33 shows the
sketch of a motorcycle with the indication of all lubrication fittings.

The cleaning of the motorcycle

after completion of the travel and return to the garage must be submitted the
motorcycle of a thorough cleaning. One cleans the engine and transmission
case best with a haarpinsel dipped into petroleum. Painted and chromium-
plated places with a soft rag and a sponge are washed, whereupon with dry
cotton rag abraded.

In order to give the painted and chromium-plated parts gloss, it is advisable to


polish it after drying with a leather rag. With a hose one may hose down only
a cooled down engine.

When washing one must avoid a too strong water pressure, which jet not
directly on the generator, which automatic controllers, headlights and
carburetors arrange, since the humidity penetrates into individual parts,
rusting to cause and and defects of the machine which can be eliminated
which can be overcome with difficulty involve can.

After drying it is advisable, the hinge of the rear, tiltable part of the shield and
the brake courses provided with some drops oil too, in order to prevent a
corrosion in these places.

One is to grease chromium-plated parts always slightly. If a motorcycle is for


a long time not in enterprise, all parts must be in-lubricated well and plentifully
with acidless vaseline.
