Checking and adjustment of the steering wires

The steering is controlled by means of wires.

These can in time become slack, which implies that the adjustment of the steering becomes altered.

Check and adjust the steering as follows:

1.Dismantle the frame-plate by releasing the screws (two on each side).

2.Check the tension of the steering wires by pushing them together as shown in the diagram. It should be possible to push them together so that the distance between them is half as much, without using unnecessary force.

3.When necessary the wires can be tensioned by tightening the adjusting nuts, one on each side of the steering rim.

Do not tension the wires too tightly, they should only be tightened up to the steering rim.

Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment as per item 2.

Adjusting the brake

The brake is adjusted as follows:

1.Release the lock nuts (1).

2.Tension the wire with the adjusting screw (2) until all the play in the wire is taken up.

3.Tighten the lock nuts (1).

4.The brakes should be checked again after the adjustment has been made.

WARNING!

Poorly adjusted brakes can result in reduced braking power.
