Assembling the coupling unit (fig. 10)
When used with drum brakes, hub gears and a frame guard, the supplied
18
rubber tapes must be applied to guarantee a uniform frame diameter.
a) Adjust the rubber tapes to the diameter of the cycle frame.
b) Apply rubber tapes at the front and rear of the fixing brackets.
Fit the coupling unit as shown in the illustration.
19
Note: First tighten the top two screws (V) then tighten the bottom two
nuts (VI, VII) (fig. 8).
The vee block of the outer coupling plate must be in full contact with the
cycle frame
Tighten the screws uniformly. Do not overtighten. The coupling pla-
tes must be parallel to one another and must not be bent (fig. 9).
Note: on cycles with thick frames, when disk brakes are fitted and with
sprung rear frames (mountain and city bikes), use of the rear extension
coupling unit or the hub coupling unit is recommended. Both of these are
available as accessories.
