DO NOT ride the Excelerator if the hub is out of adjustment. This will damage the internal parts and cause hub to malfunction.

Procedure A (FIGURE 2)

1.Loosen the hex nut.

2.Using a pair of pliers, pull cable to increase tension. Retighten hex nut.

3. Shift gears to check for correct adjustment.

NOTE: If gears do NOT shift, increase cable tension and retest proper shifting of gears. If the chain skips a gear, loosen the cable tension until correct operation is achieved.

NOTE: Shift gears when pedals are stationary or when minimum amount of pedaling is being done to avoid wear on rotating parts of hub.
