Important: A loose belt as well as an over-
tightened belt may cause injury of the rider or dama-
ge to the drive system. Checking belt tension: To
check for a loose belt, sit on the saddle, place your
feet on the pedals, move the pedals until the crank
arms are horizontal. Next, pull up the emergency
brake handle and hold it. Then, stand on the pe-
dals and rock forward andbackward. There should
be no play or slip in the drive train. If there is slip or
play in the drive train, this indicates that the belt is

ends of the flywheel axle by two full turns. Loosen
the inner adjustment nut (D) facing the flywheel axle
on each side of the flywheel. Next, losen the lock

Then, turn both (right and left sides) of the in-
ner adjustment nuts (D) on the intside of the fly-

justment nuts exactly the same amount to avo-
id misalignment of the flywheel. Re-check if
the amount of play or slip in the drive train has
disappeared.
Finally, retighten the two outer lock nuts (C) to
secure the new adjustment and retigthen the two
axle nuts (B). At last reattach the maintenance co-
