AUTOMOTIVE

Do you like cycling, and regular maintenance is a way of showing it. If you want to keep your bike in good condition, lawyers suggest motorcycle on a regular schedule of inspections, modifications and repairs. To get ready for the road and avoid unnecessary damage, just follow the instructions below.

When you refuel

* Check your tires every 250 miles or every time you ride your bike to refuel. Keep a tire pressure gauge in hand to control the air in your tires. Examine the tread. If you notice any cracks, pitting, uneven wear or bumps, it’s time to buy new tires.
* Grease the bicycle chain. The use of a spray generously cover chain side chain contacts the sprocket. Be sure to cover both sides of the chain.

Every three to six months

* Battery test and make sure it is fully charged. Then check the connections and the level of liquid in each chamber. If low, top with distilled water or demineralized water. Remember: Do not use tap water to fill the battery compartment. The minerals in tap water can damage the battery.
* Check the oil and oil filter. The oil must reach the “high” or “Max” mark. To check the oil, make sure your bike is level and centered position.

Annually

* Inspect brake pad thickness at least once a year. Your brake pads have slots in the middle. If the grooves are very shallow, or if the pads are flat, it’s time for new pads. However, if the grooves are a few millimeters in depth, which should not be replaced.
* Change the brake fluid. Brake fluid can absorb moisture over time, so use a new bottle, unopened.
* Check the fuel filter. If you have accumulated dirt and debris, replace it.
* Inspect fuel lines and electrical son. Replace all lines or son who corrosion, rust, cracks or other damage.

It is easy to forget or postpone routine maintenance work to integrate these controls in their normal driving habits. Use this list when you do a wash and wax, or when you store your bike in the season. These measures can help ensure that you and your bike will be many safe trips, exciting in the future.

IMPROVISED PAINT BOOTH
If you’re like me, can not afford a booth at the project in his studio. That’s what I did. Clean a closet that is attached to the back of my shop. I lined the white walls of polyethylene, and placed a variable speed fan in the window. I was walking with a roll of tape and seal the perimeter of the fan to the cops close in the walls. Now on the lights. After the first time you try to paint something, you quickly learn how good lighting is essential. In fact, when I talked about the lighting, the brightest in their field of painting, the better. A friend gave me two to four fluorescent tubes, which hang on both sides of my new paint booth. It is good to have reflective walls. Lining the walls white poly not only saves your walls, but also very thoughtful.

SAFETY
Before continuing, I want to stress safety. It is a very bad idea that painting in a room that is attached to your home. In fact, it may be illegal in some jurisdictions. In addition, the paint fumes are not only super toxic, they are highly flammable. Make sure your devices are connected correctly and that its facilities are fully enclosed with the cap. Last but not least, make sure you have a good quality respirator with filters for type of paint you use.

INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
For tools you’ll need at least two guns, an air regulator with water trap, a compressor, and of course air hoses. As mentioned earlier, you have two guns, paint … a primer and a base for paint and varnish. Read the rest of this entry →
