Checking And Adjusting The Steering Wires; Checking And Adjusting The Brake; Adjusting The Throttle Wire - Jonsered FR2216MA Operator's Manual

Temperature variations and vibrations can mean that the
tightening torque for the screws drops. The screws should be
checked when servicing to guarantee the correct torque. The
tightening toque should be about 10 Nm. Never use a
machine that has a faulty muffler.
WARNING! The muffler gets very hot in use
!
and remains so for a short time afterwards.
Do not touch the muffler if it is hot! Avoid
contact with hot surfaces on muffler,
cylinder etc. Contact can result in burns to
the skin. Remember the risk of fire.
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:
1 Remove the frame plate by loosening the screws (2) and
lift the frame plate by the rear edge.
2 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.

3 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.

Checking and adjusting the brake

Check that the parking brake is adjusted correctly by placing
the machine on a slope with the front and rear axles
disengaged.
Apply and lock the parking brake.
When the machine does not stand still, the brake should be
adjusted according to the following.
1 Remove the left-hand wing cover.
2 Loosen the locking nuts (1).
3 Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the
play in the cable is taken up.
4 Tighten the locking nuts (1).
5 The brake should be checked again after adjustment
6 Assemble the left-hand wing cover.

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.
WARNING! A poorly adjusted brake can
result in reduced braking ability.
