HEEL SPOKES TENSION ADJUSTMENT
WARNING FOR WHEELS AND SPOKES (all
models)
Check wheel spokes integrity and tension after
the first 1500 Km (1000 mi) and then after every
10000 Km (6000 mi).
Driving with the wrong spokes tension or with
one or more broken spokes may damage the
wheel and cause risks to the vehicle safety and
stability.
Always comply with the instructions on the
maximum allowed load.

ALIFORNIA
EV 2001:
• Place the vehicle on the stand;
IMPORTANT: to adjust spokes tension there is no need
to remove the wheel.
Wheel spoke locking is achieved thanks to a tension
adjustment nipple (2), inside which a nipple locking pin is
screwed in. This locking pin presses on the wheel spoke
(3) and blocks the nipple rotation (2)
WARNING
Even if the wheel spokes tension (3) is correct,
a nipple might be unlocked
• Determine which wheel spokes (3) need tightening;
IMPORTANT: following operations refer to the adjustment
of one spoke only.
• Loosen the locking pin (1);
• Adjust the concerned spoke tension (3) through the
nipple (2);
• Screw the nipple in to tighten the spoke (3);
• Unscrew the nipple to loosen the spoke (3) (nipple
indicative tightening torque 3.5 Nm);
IMPORTANT: if nipple (2) adjustment is hindered, loosen
the locking pin (1) again.
• Tighten the locking pin (1) without forcing it too much
(locking pin indicative tightening torque 3 Nm);
• Repeat the same operation for all spokes in sequence
order;
• After adjusting the wheel spokes tension, check wheel
rim axial and radial play, as described in chapter 3
section F.
DANGER
It is important to lock the rotation of all nipples.
Nipple loosening modifies the wheel spoke
tension and jeopardizes the wheels safety and
the vehicle stability
