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:
•
Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws (2) and
lift the frame plate by the rear edge.
•
Check the tension of the steering wires by pushing them
together (at the arrows). It should be possible to push
them together so that the distance between them is half as
much, without using unnecessary force.
•
If 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.
