swivel bracket.
To increase the resistance:
Turn the adjusting screw/bolt clockwise.
To decrease the resistance:
Turn the adjusting screw/bolt counter-
clockwise.
w
Do not overtighten the friction
screw/bolt. If there is too much resis-
tance, it may be difficult to steer, which
could result in an accident.
