Assembly and adjustments
1/ Adjust the bolt and quick fastener mechanism
The wheel axe is held in place by the force of the quick fastener pushing against a
counter shaft and pulling the tension adjustment bolt, with a skewer, against the
other counter shaft. The force is controlled by a tension adjustment bolt. Turning
the tension adjustment bolt clockwise increases the force for blocking; turning it
anticlockwise reduces it.
