Figure 12 - Remedial action
Checking the efficiency of the side
friction pads
1. Check that the stabiliser is correctly coupled
by ensuring the coupling handle is fully
down and the red indicator button is in the
raised position.
2. Push the stabiliser lever (see diagram - Item
1) down until resistance is felt (i.e. The
friction pads are in contact with the ball but
not yet under pressure).
3. Check the position of the arrowhead on the
arm of the stabiliser. If it lines up with the
two green lines then the friction pads are still
as new (see diagram - A).
4. If the arrowhead lines up with the two
red lines then the friction pads are worn
and should be replaced immediately (see
diagram - B).

Figure 13 - Checking left / right friction pads
Note: When the stabiliser lever is correctly
applied, the arrowhead should line up with
the black line marked 2 (see diagram - C).
Note: The friction pads do not require any
form of lubrication and should be cleaned
with a fine emery paper prior to every
journey. It is not necessary to adjust the
friction pads.
