STEM FOLDING HINGE
TENSION LEVER
This type of folding hinge type allows the
adjustment of tension and action point.
FUNCTION OF THE FOLDING HINGE
The folding hinge is correctly adjusted by
Riese & Müller at our factory. However it can
be maintained by an expert.
The following description helps to find and
eliminate errors.
HOW TO ADJUST THE CLAMPING FORCE
The mechanism is adjusted by turning the
tension rod.
• Close the lever. Loosen the nut several
turns.
• Open the lever.
• Now you can adjust the tension rod with a
2.5 mm allen wrench.
• Close the lever again and tighten the nut
(torque setting 2-3Nm)
• Check the tightening force. The lever should
move easily but should have no play when
closed. If this is not, the tension rod has to
be adjusted again.
ATTENTION!
This folding hinge consists of
many parts and any maintenance
is best done by your dealer. Incor-
rect assembly can lead to malfunc-
tion and loss of steering control!
