CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

Chain should be checked, adjusted and lubricated
as per the Maintenance Chart to ensure safety and
prevent excessive wear. If the chain becomes badly
worn or is poorly adjusted (i.e., if it is too loose or too
taut), it could escape from sprocket or break.

en the locking nut (1) of the wheel axle;
- loosen the check nuts (3) on both chain tensioners
and work on the screws (4) with a 0.39 in. wrench
to achieve the right tension;
