Checking And Adjusting The Steering Wires; Adjusting The Brake; Adjusting The Throttle Wire - Husqvarna R 120S Manuel D'utilisation

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.
15 0 mm
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
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.

clamping screw.
