SERVICE MANUAL
WORK ON A FLAT EVEN SURFACE.
Whenever the seat height is changed or as periodic mainte-
nance, check the fork angle and, if necessary, adjust it in
order to have the fork axis perpendicular to the ground.
To loosen the system:
loosen the two bolts
A
, the two headless bolts
B1 B2
and
the nut
C
.
To adjust the fork:
Turn the fork axle, clock or anticlockwise, until the perpen-
dicularity, 90° to the ground.
To make this operation easy, it is advisable to slightly tight-
en one of the two bolts
A
so that to allow for the fork axle
rotation and keeping it in position after moving it.
You can measure the perpendicularity with the help of a
square (or similar) vertically aligned to the caster; the caster
has to be turn 90° with respect to the driving direction.
Alternatively, turn the fork by 360°: during the full turn, the
wheel has to touch the surface in all positions.
To fix the system
proceed with the following sequence:
•
Tighten the two bolts
A
alternating them each quarter of
a turn in order to allow for an even clamp torque.
•
Tight and hold bolt
D
and tighten the nut
C
•
Finally, tighten the two headless bolts
B1 B2
