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.Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws.

2. Check the tension of the steering wires by pushing them together (at the arrows).

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 machine.

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

Hold the wire so 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.
