5. 운영

Puig 8544N Engine Guards are passive protection devices. Once correctly installed, they require no active operation. Their function is to absorb impact and protect critical engine components during a tip-over or slide. Ensure they do not impede the normal function of the motorcycle's controls or moving parts.

• 손상 여부 검사: After any incident or periodically during routine motorcycle checks, inspect the engine guards for bends, cracks, or other damage. If significant damage is present, replacement is recommended.
• Check Fastener Tightness: Regularly check all mounting bolts and nuts to ensure they remain securely tightened. Vibrations from riding can sometimes loosen fasteners over time.
• 부식 방지: If the finish is scratched or chipped, touch up with appropriate paint to prevent rust and corrosion.

7. 문제 해결

• 헐렁한 착용감: If the engine guards feel loose after installation, re-check all fasteners for proper torque. Ensure no washers or spacers were omitted during assembly.
• 제어 장치 간섭: If the engine guards interfere with the footpegs, shifter, or brake pedal, re-check the alignment and ensure all components are correctly positioned. Minor adjustments may be necessary.
• 특이한 소음: Rattling or other unusual noises may indicate loose hardware or contact with other motorcycle components. Inspect thoroughly and tighten any loose parts or adjust positioning.
• 정렬의 어려움: If you encounter significant difficulty aligning the engine guards, ensure you have the correct model for your motorcycle year. Sometimes, slight manipulation or loosening other frame bolts temporarily can aid in alignment.
