Checking And Adjusting Of The Steering Wires; Adjusting The Brake - Husqvarna Rider 15V2 Operator's Manual

Checking and adjustment of 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. Dismantle the frame-plate by releasing the
screws (two on each side).
2. Check the tension of the steering wires by
pushing them together as shown in the
diagram. 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 tension the wires too
much, they should only be tightened against the
steering collar.
Support the wire so it does not twist.
If you tension only one side, the steering
wheel's centre position may change.
Check the wire tension as set out in point 2
after you have made the adjustment.

Adjusting the brake

The brake is adjusted as follows:
1. Release the lock nuts (1).
2. Tension the wire with the adjusting screw (2)
until all the play in the wire is taken up.
3. Tighten the lock nuts (1).
4. The brakes should be checked again after the
adjustment has been made.
WARNING!
Poorly adjusted brakes can result
in reduced braking power.
