Repair and Maintenance
5
Tighten chain adjusters using 10mm wrench evenly to remove some
slack from the chain as required.
6
Adjust chain tension to have approx. 1/2” to 3/4” free play. Free
play is not forced! The chain should move this amount with very
little force. Using 12mm and 17mm wrenches tighten axle securely.
Chain tension must be correct with axle tightened securely. Snug
chain adjuster bolts after axle is tight
7
Thread the cable wire into the cable anchor. Thread the cable
to its original position and tighten securely.
Chain and Sprocket
Notes
The chain will typically
have a “loose spot” and
“tight spot”
corresponding with a
particular sprocket
rotational position. This
is normal and common
to all chain-driven
products due to run-out
tolerances of the free
wheel and sprocket.
The chain should be
adjusted to the ideal
tension with chain in the
tightest spot.
Proper chain alignment
must be maintained.
The wheel must not be
skewed. If the chain is
noisy or rough running,
check the lubrication,
tension and alignment
of the sprockets, in that
order.
