improved the cables need to be screwed tight to prevent them from
coming loose.
7.10 Check and re-adjust handbrake: An engaged handbrake should
hold the STrac 700 always in place. The handbrake can be re-adjusted if
it becomes too loose. This can be done by loosening up the locking nut on
the connection rod between lever and wheel motor. Shortening this rod
means tightening the handbrake. Make sure to lock the locking nut back
in place after adjusting.
8.0 Storage
When the STrac 700 will be stored and un-used for a longer period please
make sure to follow the next steps:
8.1 Disconnect the ST head from the hitch of the STrac. Next raise the
hitch in the top position.
8.2 Drain all fuel from the tank and system by removing the drain plug
underneath the carburettor.
8.3 Check and set the correct tyre pressure.
8.4 Lower the steering boom to the lowest position. In this position the
steering boom rubbers are in the best position.
8.5 Place the STrac 700 in a dry spot and cover the STrac with a tarp to
protect it against dust and moisture.
When the STrac will be taken back in use, make sure to follow all steps as
described under 5.0 First start and first use.
