CHECKING THE STEERING

Carefully read p. 43 (MAINTENANCE).
Occasionally check the steering slack.
To check the steering it is necessary to:
◆
Position the vehicle on the centre stand.
NOTE
Prepare a 185 mm high support,
the base of which must measure 200 x 200
mm.
◆
Place the support under the vehicle and
a spongy cloth between them, so that the
front wheel can move freely and the ve-
hicle cannot fall down.
