Adjusting the parking brake
Rider 16 AWD
Check that the parking brake is adjusted correctly by placing
the machine on a slope with the front and rear axles
disengaged. Apply and lock the parking brake. When the
machine does not stand still, the parking brake should be
adjusted according to the following.
1 Remove the left-hand wing cover.
1 Loosen the locking nuts (1).
2 Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the
play in the cable is taken up.
3 Tighten the locking nuts (1).
4 The brake should be checked again after adjustment
5 Assemble the left-hand wing cover.
Adjusting the throttle wire
The throttle cable may need to be adjusted, if the engine does
not respond as it should when accelerating, if it produces
black smoke or maximum revs are not reached.
1 Release the clamping screw that secures the wire casing
and set the choke control to maximum choke.
2 Pull the choke wire casing to the far right and tighten the
clamping screw.
3 Pull back the throttle to the full throttle position and check
that the choke is no longer actuated.
Replacing the air filter
If the engine seems to lack power or does not run smoothly
this may be because the air filter is clogged. It is therefore
important to replace the air filter at regular intervals (see
Maintenance/Maintenance Schedule for the correct service
interval).
Replace the air filter as follows:
1 Open the engine cover.
2 Pull up the handle on the air filter cover, unhook and turn
towards the engine.
3 Remove the air filter cover.

WARNING! A poorly adjusted parking brake
can result in reduced braking ability.
