ALIGNMENT

CHECKING THE ALIGNMENT

– Remove the rear panel.
– Set the rear wheels for a straight course.
– Hold the alignment measure (fig. 4–9/ H) between
the front rim horns and adjust so that the ends barely
tough the rim horns.
– Hold the alignment measure between the rear rim
horns (fig. 4–9/ I).
The alignment is adjusted correctly when the rear rim
horns are 2 mm further apart than the front rim horns
(2 mm toe-in).
☞
Note:
As a replacement for the wheel alignment measure
you can also use two boards of about 30 cm length:
1.) Hold the boards parallel beside each other so
that the end of one of the boards sits on the front
rim horn of the left wheel and the end of the other
board on the front rim horn of the right wheel.
2.) Draw a continuous line above the boards.
3.) Hold the boards in the same fashion onto the
rear rim horns. – In correct adjustment the two par-
tial lines must have been pulled apart by about 2
mm.

ADJUSTING THE ALIGNMENT

– Loosen the counter nuts (fig. 4–10/ J) inside and
outside on both tie-rods.
– Turn the tie rod until the correct toe-in is achieved,
view chapter < checking the alignment >.
– Tighten the counter nuts again.
☞
Note:
During the adjustment the symmetry in length has
to be observed, meaning both tie rods have to be
the same length.
Attention:
!
Under no circumstance may the straight course be
created through different length tie rods.
