ADJUSTMENT OF WHEEL CARRIER
9.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE
WHEEL CARRIER
The wheel carrier should sit parallel with the
rear step when viewed horizontally.
The height of the wheel carrier arm can be
adjusted using the M8 bolt located inside the
right hand wing cavity.
Turning the bolt in raises the arm, raise until
the arm is parallel with the shell of the rear
bar.
10. ADJUST THE CATCH HOOK
Make sure that the bolts attaching the catch hook to the rear bar
are finger tight.
Slowly close the wheel carrier until the catch almost contacts the
catch hook. Check that the hook is positioned centrally about the
catch opening. If necessary, adjust the height of the catch hook.
When hook is in the correct position, tighten the bolts.
Shut the wheel carrier so that the catch engages. The catch
should make a crisp ‘click’ sound.
Standing behind the vehicle, pull the catch lever towards you.
The catch should make a crisp ‘click’ sound again and the wheel
carrier should be opened by the gas strut.
If the catch does not behave in this manner, the catch hook
requires further adjustment. If the top surface of the hook shows
evidence of scoring or is marked, the hook should be moved
lower down. If the bottom surface of the hook is scored, the hook
should be moved upward.
Continue adjusting the catch hook until the catch locks and
unlocks freely.
11. ADJUSTING THE STOPPER
Screw the stopper out until it protrudes 8 MM past the inside
edge of the wheel carrier.
Shut the wheel carrier so that the catch engages. If the catch will
not lock (‘click’) - screw the stopper in. If there is free play
between the wheel carrier and the rear bar - screw the stopper
out. Continue to screw the stopper out until the free play is
removed. When happy with the stopper position, tighten the M8
flange nut against the steel mounting plate.
