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).
MAINTENANCE
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).
WARNING!
Poorly adjusted brakes can result
in reduced braking power.
!
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.
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.
