ratchet wheel of the brake drum until the wheel cannot turn freely, then dial down
the ratchet wheel 7 - 8 teeth.
Steering System Maintenance

will let water in and damage the tie-rod, and the steering system will not be flexi-

wheel toe-in is between 3 - 5 mm (1/8 – 3/16”). If it exceeds this value, adjust the
tie-rod screw stem.
Motor Maintenance

surface with a dry cloth. Avoid any water contact inside motor.

cylinder. The front hub, front wheel bearing, brake system, and steering
system should be filled once every year with #3 general lithium based lu-
bricant.
