EXCELERATOR/EXCELERATOR XLT SEVEN (7) SPEED SHIFTER ADJUSTMENT/REPLACEMENT - BEFORE 1997 ONLY (FIGURE 5)
NOTE: Excelerator/Excelerator XLTs manufactured AF- TER 1997 are equipped with SHIMANO hubs. If equipped with a SHIMANO hub, it MUST be serviced and adjusted by a qualified technician.

NOTE: There is no cable adjustment for the seven (7) speed shifter cable. Loosening the knurled screw will en- able you to pull the gear box from the hub axle.
It is recommended that you take your Excelerator to a qualified technician for any shifter adjustment.
If adjustment or replacement of internal parts is required, i.e., won't shift into ALL seven (7) gears, perform the fol- lowing replacement:
1. Ensure that the hub and shifter are properly installed.
NOTE: Shifter is installed with a 4 mm hex key to a torque of 1.8 to 2.1 ft. lbs.
2.Loosen knurled screw and pull gearbox (clickbox) from the hub axle.
3.Run the cable and clickbox along the frame and above the bottom bracket until it reaches the rear axle.
4.Ensure that there are no extreme bends in the cable and there is ample slack for the handlebars to turn without binding the cable.
5.Use a light oil and lubricate shift rod and the shift tube.
