ADJUSTING CLUTCH
The clutch rod should be adjusted so that the free
travel on the pedal is 5 - 10 mm.
The pedal clearance is adjusted with the nuts Q.
The free travel on the pedal is increased when the
nuts on the clutch rod are screwed in (fig 22).

be adjusted
Tension the steering cable by screwing in nut R
(fig 23). IMPORTANT! The "end screw" of the
steering cable must be held firmly while adjusting.
Hold with an adjustable spanner or similar in the
flats on the "end screw".
Adjust the steering cable until all slack is taken up.
CHANGING STEERING CABLE
The steering cable is a wearing part that must be
changed if necessary.
1. Remove the old steering cable.
2. Attach the "end nut" of the steering cable to
screw S. Do not tighten the screw fully (fig 23).
3. Place the steering cable in the groove on the
steering disc and on jockey rollers T and U.
4. Wind the steering cable 1 turns clockwise on the
inner half of the steering pulley (inside hole in the
steering pulley).
5. Press the riveted pawl into the hole in the steer-
ing pulley.
6. Wind the steering cable a further 1 turns clock-
wise on the outer half of the steering pulley (out-
side hole in the steering pulley).
7. Place the steering cable on jockey rollers V, and
X.
8. Place the steering cable in the groove on the
steering disc and insert the "end screw" of the ca-
ble through the hole in the welded lip on the steer-
ing disc.
9. Fit the spring on the "end screw" and attach it
with the washer and nut R.

with an adjustable spanner or similar in the flats on
the "end screw". Adjust the steering cable until all
slack is taken up. Grease the steering cable.
13. Adjust the cable again after a few hours run-
ning.
14. Do not tension the steering cable too hard as
this can cause unnecessary wear on the cable, jock-
ey rollers etc.
ADJUSTING THE NEUTRAL POSI-
TION (President)
If the machine moves (creeps) when the drive lever
is in the marked neutral position, adjustment is re-
quired.
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
2. The freewheel clutch pedal must not be de-
pressed. (Someone must sit on the seat otherwise
the engine will stop).
3. Undo bolts Y slightly (fig 24).
4. With the drive lever in the neutral position, si-
multaneously move the locating plate and drive le-
ver forward or backward carefully until the
machine stands completely still.
5. Tighten bolts Y.
On the rear bolt is an eccentric spacer. By turning
this spacer it is possible to set how far the drive le-
ver can be moved backward, i.e. set the maximum
reverse speed.
Reverse speed can be adjusted in the range 6 -10
kph.
Do not adjust the reverse speed so that
it is unnecessarily high. The machine
will be difficult to control.
ADJUSTING THE DRIVE LEVER
(President)
Drive lever inertia is adjusted by loosening or
tightening lock-nut Z (fig 25).
If the cruise control function is required, the nut
should be tightened. The drive lever will remain as
currently set but more effort will be required to
