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:
1Position the wheels straight ahead.
2Tension can be checked approximately 150 mm along the wire from the adjustment screw.
Adjusting the P-brake
1Open the engine cover backwards.
2Remove the protective cover.

3Push the wire by hand up and down on the steering collar. Make a mark at the top and bottom positions.
4Measure the distance between the marks. The distance should be 15 ± 5 mm
15+-5
5If 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.
3Loosen the locking nuts (1).
4Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the play in the cable is taken up.
5Tighten the locking nuts (1) after adjustment.
Adjusting the throttle wire
The throttle cable may need to be adjusted, if the engine does not respond as it should when accelerating, if it produces black smoke or maximum revs are not reached.
1Release the clamping screw that secures the wire casing and set the choke control to maximum choke.
2Pull the choke wire casing to the far right and tighten the clamping screw.
3Pull back the throttle to the full throttle position and check that the choke is no longer actuated.
