To check the control cable spring:

1. Squeeze the wheel drive control bail towards the

handlebar until the spring starts to open.

2. Measure the distance between the wheel drive bail

to the handlebar indentation.

3. To obtain the proper adjustments turn the control

cable nuts at the handlebar or the bottom of the

control cable anchor against the anchor supports.

4.10 HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENT

Holes in handlebar braces provide four height

positions, a service position, and a storage position

(except on professional models).

Use one of the four holes to adjust handlebar height to

a safe, comfortable position. Place bolt on handlebar

bracket through one of holes 1, 2, 3 or 4 in order of

increasing height (See Figure 11).

NOTE:

On Professional models nuts and bolts replace

pins.

For storage, rotate handlebar forward and place pins

through holes further up braces.

4.11 SPEED CONTROL BELL CRANK

The speed control bell crank holds the speed selector

rod in position after a speed has been set. The spring

washers may become loose with normal wear. If the

speed selector rod does not stay firmly in position,

adjust the speed control bell crank. See Figure 12.

To adjust:

1. Remove cover, fully compress the helical spring

lockwashers with lock nut and then back lock nut

off, one half turn.

2. If the speed selector rod is still too loose, tighten

lock nut by small increments until it holds its

position. Tightening the lock nut too much will not

allow the speed selector rod to move at all.

3. Align notch in left hand side of cover with bolt and

secure with knob.
