CHANGING DRIVE BELTS

Always use genuine belts. They fit exactly and last
longest.
When changing a v-belt, lift up one side of the ma-
chine (with carburettor upwards) and place a crate
or similar under the front wheel. Do not forget to
block the other front wheel so that the machine
cannot roll. Turn the rear wheels to the slewed po-
sition.
N.B. If the machine has to be tilted more than 45°
the battery must be removed.

ADJUSTING CHAIN

If the chain is too slack it can be tensioned by
screwing down the nut P on the turnbuckle. Do not
tension the chain too hard (fig 18).

ADJUSTING CLUTCH
