Checking and adjusting 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 Remove the frame plate by loosening the two screws.
2 Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing
them together by the arrows as illustrated. 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
over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in
towards the steering collar.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench,
so that it does not twist.
If the adjustment is only made on one side, the middle
position of the steering will be affected.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.
