Muffler; Checking And Adjusting The Steering Wires - Jonsered FR2318 FA4X4 Operator's Manual

Muffler
Check regularly that the muffler is complete and secured
correctly.
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.
Maintenance
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.
4 Unscrew the belt shields and the side protectors. The
protectors are fitted on both sides of the machine.
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.
5 Screw on the belt shields and the side protectors.
Remember to use the right screws in each mounting.
