TOP FRAME CAM ADJUSTMENT
The top frame cam changes forward or rearward
position of the top header in relation to the wind-
shield header. The cam turns inside the rear side rail
and thrust link (Fig. 10). It may be necessary to
lengthen the balance links 1 or 2 serrations after a
cam adjustment. The position of the cam high side
determines the angle between the center and rear
side rails. When the high side is fully forward, the
angle is at a minimum, and when turned rearward,
the angle is increased. An increased angle increases
the forward movement of the top. The cam high side
is indicated by a arrow on the cam threaded end.
TO ADJUST CAM SETTING
(1) Lower top to half down position to remove all
possible strain from the cam.
(2) Remove torx head screw.
(3) Using appropriate torx bit, rotate cam as nec-
essary and secure set screw.
