5.5 Maintenance - Tension Stem Locknut
The Tension Stem Locknut should always be tight up against the
collar and brake lever. If it is found loose then tighten up
immediately to allow the Exercise Cycle to function properly (see
Figure P).
5.6 Maintenance - Replacement of Brake Cable
To replace the brake cable, first slacken the inner brake cable
securing nut. Pull the brake lever on and carefully push the brake
cable through the brake lever to create some slack, then release
the brake cable retaining lug by pushing the lug down through the
hole in the housing. Hold the lug and pull the remaining cable out
through the handle and clear of the Exercise Cycle. Thread the
new cable back through the brake handle and tension barrel,
insert the retaining lug up into its housing and push the brake
lever off whilst pulling on the cable. Thread the cable through the
brake cable sleeve and route down to the brake pads. Route the
cable firstly through the adjustment barrel then the brake calliper,
insert the cable behind the cable securing nut and tighten. The
brake pads will need re-setting and the Free Wheel Test will have
to be checked, (see Section 5.4 on Page 17).
NOTE: The brake cable and brake cable sleeve is replaced as a
complete assembly, therefore if one is renewed so is the other.
