SERVICE MANUAL
WORK ON A FLAT AND EVEN SURFACE.
The adjustment is the same for both Exelle and Exelle Vario. The pictures show the assembly on the Exelle Vario. Note that, differently
from the models Exelle/Exelle Vario, the support is assembled facing backward; however, in some cases in alcuni casi, it is possible to
assemble it facing frontward.
Unscrew the bolt
V
that fixes the nut
D
. Remove the nut
D
but leave the bolt on completely. You should not loosen the other bolt, in fact it
will hold the fork while performing the adjustment.
You can now turn the fork support (and the fork itself) clock or anti clock wise within the
limits given by the support’s slot
A
against the bolt
V
. within such limits you will have to
find the correct angle: the fork has to be perpendicular to the ground.
You can reveal the perpendicularity using a spirit level leant against the cylinder of the
fork support as shown in the picture, or you can turn the fork. In this last way, the caster
should evenly touch the ground all around the clock.
When you find the correct angle, you have to insert the nut
D
with two of its two sides
perfectly aligned with those of the slot
A
, but without moving the fork support.
The adjustment nut
D
has two holes. Each hole gives 6 different positions, so, in total
there are 12 positions.
Insert the nut on the bolt using one hole and turn it to try the 6 positions. You cannot
position the nut if the bolt is touching either side of the slot.
When you find the coinciding position, push the nut into the housing and tighten the
bolt. Should no position allow for the perfect alignment, try the other hole of the nut and
repeat the same operations.
DO NOT adapt the position of the fork support to the nut, this way you actually change
the fork angle.
If you cannot reach the perpendicularity within the range given by the slot
A
, remove
the bolt
V1
and remove the fork paying attention to which of the two holes
A
or
B
it was
fixed to.
Assemble the fork using the other hole and tighten the corresponding bolt.
Repeating the same operations above mentioned, adjust the fork angle and position
the nut.
Finally, tighten the bolts
A
and
B
hard.
If, in the coinciding position, the nut is leaning out of the support, it is advisable, in or-
der to have a better hold, to reverse its position (of course, using the same hole); this
way, the nut will fully be located within the support housing.
It is advisable to pread a
drop of mild lock thread
glue on the bolts
V
and
V1
.
