Engage third gear (Y page 29). Move the
pedal crank to ensure the gear is
engaged.

If it is possible to engage the third
gear: pull on shift cable :.
In third gear, it should not be possible
to pull shift cable : any further out of
the wheel hub. If this is possible, then
gear cable ; is insufficiently ten-
sioned.

If shift cable : can be pulled out,
unscrew nut = on the gearshift twist-
grip (turning it in an anti-clockwise
direction).
X
If it is not possible to engage third
gear: screw in nut = on the gearshift
twist-grip (turning it in a clockwise
direction) because the tension of gear
cable ; is too high.

through the gears several times to test
the gearshift.
Tightening and aligning the drive belt
!
If the drive belt tension is not cor-
rectly adjusted, the drive belt and other
components may be damaged.
If there is not enough tension in the
drive belt, the belt may slip on the belt
pulleys. This, in turn, may damage the
carbon fibres inside the drive belt. If
the drive belt has slipped, it should be
replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
If there is too much tension in the drive
belt, bearings and seals in the wheel hub
may be damaged. Wear and friction losses
in the drive system as a whole will also
increase.
