RIESE & MULLER load - Adjusting Chain Tension; Post-Adjustment System Checks

47
• Check the chain tension at dierent crank
positions.
• Check that the rear wheel is aligned cor
-
rectly in the direction of travel.
• Tighten the bolts A and possibly the brake
anchor with the correct tightening torque.
Checking rear brake and shifting system
The adjustment of the chain tension changes
the rear wheel position. Make sure the rear
brake pads are correctly oriented to the rim
(see page 40).
• If the chain moves more than a few millim
-
eters down, then it could slap the swingarm
and should be tensioned.
• Shut o the E-bike drive, lift the rear wheel
o the ground and turn the crank. When
the crank is sti and provides uneven
resistance when turning, the chain is too
tight.
ADJUSTING THE CHAIN TENSION
• At models with coaster brake loosen the
brake anchor attachment of the coaster
brake.
• At models without slider dropouts loosen
the axle nuts a few turns. At models with
slider dropouts loosen the four bolts A a
few turns.
• At models without slider dropouts pull the
rear wheel back and tighten the axle nuts
slightly. At models with slider dropouts
tighten the two adjustment bolts B on both
sides with the same number of revolutions.
Turning clockwise tightens the chain and
counterclockwise relaxes the chain.

The chain tension at the models
Avenue, Culture and Kendu
increases a little bit when the
suspension starts to work.
This is another reason to adjust
the chain tension not to tight.
ATTENTION!
Wrong assembly can cause
malfunction or failure at shifting
and braking system. Absolutely
check the function of shifting
and braking system after chain
tension adjustment.
DANGER!
