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 Position the wheels straight ahead.
2 Tension can be checked approximately 150 mm along the
wire from the adjustment screw.
3 Push the wire by hand up and down on the steering collar.
Make a mark at the top and bottom positions.
4 Measure the distance between the marks. The distance
should be 15 ± 5 mm
5 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 you only tension one side the steering wheel’s centre
position may change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.
Adjusting the P-brake
1 Open the engine cover backwards.
2 Remove the protective cover.
3 Loosen the locking nuts (1).
4 Tension the cable using the adjuster screw (2) until the
play in the cable is taken up.
5 Tighten the locking nuts (1) after adjustment.
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.
