Danger!
The locknut must be
screwed tight to the tie-rod, otherwise the
rod-end could loosen up or play could de-
velop. Please pay attention to the table of
fastening torques on page 87.
Align both rod-ends parallel to each other.
Grip the rod-end with a wrench and tighten
the nut against the tie-rod with 4 – 5 Nm.
Attach the tie-rod to the handlebar stem:
First, the screw is put through the hole in the
stem (from upside to downside).
Then slide the washer and the rod end onto
the screw. Finally, put on the self-locking nut.
Measure the toe-in as described above. Re-
peat the adjustment process until you reach
the required toe-in setting.
On the other side of the track rod the rod
end is mounted on the underside of the sus-
pension strut’s steering lever. Between strut
and rod end there is a washer and a spacer.
There is an additional spacer between screw
head and rod end.
Attention!
Make sure the wash-
er is between rod end and bracket to al-
low the full movability of the rod end.
Danger!
Secure the thread of
the bolt with L
OCTITE
adhesive. Check all
connections of the steering system before
every ride. If a connection loosens, the tri-
cycle becomes unsteerable which may lead
to serious injury.
