Maintenance
2Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing them together by the arrows as illustrated. It should be possible to push them together so that the distance between them is half as much, without using unnecessary force.
3If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in towards the steering collar.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench, so that it does not twist.
If you only tension one side the steering wheel’s centre position may change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment as per item 2.
