SERVICE MANUAL
A
Loosen the bolt A of both clamps that fix the rear axle B.
Loosen the above mentioned screws just enough to let you turn the rear axle with
your hand but without the clamp sliding along the axle. If that occurs, you can contin-
ue with the adjustment. You will fix that later.
Turn the rear axle (clockwise or anticlockwise) and observe how and to what extent
the wheels move.
A good reference is the pin B, in fact its axis, should be perpendicular to the ground,
except for the 4° receiver fixed in the centre position (2) which is rotated by 90° with
respect to the other two positions (1 and 3); in such case, the bolt D should be paral-
lel to the ground.
Take the measures again and if necessary, repeat the same operation until you
reach the correct convergence, se previous page.
If the clamp moved when you loosened the fixing bolts, position the axle's end (not
the receiver) at 12 mm from the clamp. A point of reference may also be the position
of the pin B, in fact, it should be half covered by the wheel plate where indicated in
the picture.
Now, tighten the bolt A of one side only.
Before fixing the other side, check the front wheels (considered already adjusted at
the same height) are both touching the ground. If one do not touch, turn the frame on
axle on its loosened side to the necessary extent.
If the quick release axle of the rear wheel hardly or do not pass through the receiver,
loosen the bolt A and remove it. Then, tighten all parts again, but first pass the hole
with a ½" reamer to remove any possible tiny deformation (see also adjustment
sheet "quick release axle").
It may be a little harder to position and fix the other side due to the pressure given by
the seat canvas, but you have to respect the same distance.
Check the measure from a fix point of the frame to the centre of the tyre on each
side. Should there be a difference greater than 2-3 mm, check the distance between
clamp and axle as above mentioned.
If necessary, correct the adjustment.
If the optional support is
present, it is necessary to
remove it to get access to
the bolt A.
To remove it, unscrew (no
need to remove it) the two
grab screws C, screw off
the bolt D and slide the
support off.
