ADJUSTING THE HEAD UNIT
The head unit will should come adjusted from the factory. However, riding on
rough terrain and general use may cause the head unit to become loose over
time. It may be necessary to adjust the head unit from time to time.
ADJUSTING THE CHAINS
The chains will come adjusted from the factory. However, it may be necessary
to adjust the sprockets from time to time. The chain must be well aligned with
the sprockets otherwise they may start to rub and chafe. Which will result in
shortened chain life.
How tight should the chain be?
If the chain is skipping or jumping on the pulley teeth, it is too
loose and may be harmful.
If the chain is making a humming sound when the wheel it
turning, it is too tight and may cause the chain to snap.
The correct tension is achieved by adjusting the chain from its
loose position to when it becomes lightly tense.
To adjust the head unit:
1. Rotate the handle bar as for right as it will
go to expose the HEAD UNIT (Fig.13).
2. Using a large adjustable wrench, gently
turn the BEARING LOCK clockwise to
tighten. *DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN OR
IT WILL DAMAGE THE BEARINGS.
To tighten the chains:
Slightly loose the two Axle bolts on both sides
of the rear wheel. (Fig.14). Then slowly adjust
the two adjusting screw on each side of the
rear tire (Fig.15) until belt reached the proper
tension.
