1.
Lay the kart on a trolley.
2.
Place the adjustment tool (1) (refer to the ITAKA
catalogue).
3.
Loosen the lock nuts on each tie rod (2).
Attention:
on the stub axle side, lock nuts are
right hand; on the steering column side, lock nuts
are left hand.
4.
Position the steering wheel in the axis of the kart.
5.
Measure A and B with a tape. Adjust the tie rods
until you get A=B with a tie rod length on the
right side 1.5mm bigger than the tie rod length on
the left side.
6.
When A=B the parallelism is perfect.
Tighten the 2 lock nuts on each tie rod (2).
7.
Remove the adjustment tool (1).
NOTE:
-
On wet track, recommended adjustment: B+7mm than A
-
Do not forget to tighten the 2 lock nuts on the tie rods; otherwise the
parallelism will be lost in a few minutes.
-
Any time you work on the front wheels, check the parallelism. Do the same
after shocks.
Never drive with badly tightened wheels: it may lead to severe, even fatal injuries.
Make sure that each ball joint penetrates at least 5 threads in the tie rods.
