Checking and adjusting 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:
1Remove the frame plate by loosening the two screws.
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 the adjustment is only made on one side, the middle position of the steering will be affected.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment as per item 2.
