6.2.13 Steering Chain Adjustment
a) Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop, and remove key.
b) Position the steering handle bar so that it points the unit straight forward (the
rear steering wheel should be in line with the rider main frame channel).
c) Check to see if the chains are loose.
d) To take up slack in the chains, loosen the rear jam nuts connecting the
eyebolts to cross link bars, then equally tighten each forward jam nut until
slack is taken up. Retighten the forward jam nuts onto the links.
e) If the unit tends to turn left when handle bar is positioned for straight forward
travel, adjust by shortening the right hand link (threading jam nuts closer to
“eye” end of the eyebolt) and lengthening the left hand link (threading jam
nuts away from the “eye” end of the eyebolt) an equal amount. Re check
chain tension.
f) If the unit tends to turn right when handle bar is positioned for straight
forward travel, reverse procedure as stated in paragraph “d” above.

cable assembly at lower end, where it attached to the engine, until the
throttle control arm contacts the stop screw. Secure cable with cable clamp.
