Reparation instructions

Replacing steering wires

1.Release the steering wires' rear attachment (1).

2.Remove the frame plate.

3.Release the steering wires' front attachment (2) at the steering transmission chain (6) and pull the steering wires out throught the frame.

Note. If the old wires are still complete, the new wires can be attached to the old ones when they are pulled out through the frame, the new wires will then come automatically into place.

4.Ensure that the steering wheel is in the centre position when the rear wheels are centred. Re- set the chain on the steering column’s sprocket or adjust the rear fixture (1) for the steering cables as needed.

Hold the cables with, for example, a wrench when mounting so that they do not twist.

Attach the new wires. Once the new wires are in place, check the wire tension (see “Checking and adjusting steering wires”).

Removal/installation of steering axle

2.Remove the steering wheel and steering column by releasing the lock nut and unscrewing the locking screw, lift the steering wheel and steering column upwards.

3.Remove the two steering wheel rod carriers (4).

4.Unscrew the bolt (5) from the bottom end of the steering column.

5.Pull the steering axle (6) upwards and move the lower part of the axle backwards to remove the steering transmission chain (3).

6.Move the upper bearing (7) uppwards until it goes free from the steering axle (6). If the bearing is to be replaced, the bushing (8) must be knocked out of the bearing.

7.Slide the bearing (9) off the bottom end.

8.Take the steering axle out (6) downwards.
