Instruction manual

Hold left-hand side of wheel tightly forward against the cam stop and pull backwards

the right-hand side of the wheel so that the brake cover plate disengages with the square

headed anchor bolt. Then, raise the hinged portion of the rear mudguard and pull

wheel away from the fork ends.

TO REMOVE REAR WHEEL (Rigid Frame Models)

Place machine on rear stand.

Disconnect rear lamp wire at connection near rear wheel spindle.

Disconnect speedometer driving cable. (Unscrew gland nut on cable.)

Disconnect rear chain connecting link. (Allow chain to hang clear of the rear wheel

sprocket without becoming disengaged from the gear box small sprocket.)

Remove the two nuts securing rear portion of rear mudguard to its front portion.

Loosen nut and washer from bolt securing mudguard side bridge and tool box stay to

tubular stay.

Remove adjusting nut from rear brake rod.

Slacken the two nuts (unscrew about four turns) retaining the rear mudguard side stays

to their studs.

Slacken the two nuts on the rear wheel spindle.

Remove the rear portion of the rear mudguard, with its stays, leaving tool box and stay

in position.

Remove the rear wheel from the fork ends by twisting it sideways to release and clear

the rear brake cover plate anchor bolt and then withdrawing it to the rear.

Re-fit in the reverse order but, before finally tightening the rear wheel spindle nuts,

ensure the speedometer gear box is so positioned that the speedometer driving cable

can be correctly replaced.

When the wheel alignment is correct a piece of thin string stretched taut across both

wheels, about four inches from, and parallel to, the ground, should just touch each tyre

at both sides of the wheel centres.

Alternatively, a straight wooden batten, about five feet long, is handy to use for checking

wheel alignment. This should be applied, as in the case of string, parallel to and about

four inches from the ground.

NOTE—Always check the rear chain tension and the rear brake adjustment after making

an alteration to the rear wheel position.

TO RE-FIT REAR WHEEL (Spring Frame Model)

Reverse the above procedure but leave the tightening of the nut that locates the speedo-

meter gear box for the final operation, i.e., after the speedometer cable has been

re-connected and the exterior axle nuts have been tightened.

It will be found easier to re-fit the wheel to the fork ends with the brake cover plate

hanging free and then, holding the wheel on its left-hand side, as far forward in the fork

end as is possible, to swing the right-hand side backwards, lifting up the free cover plate

so that the slot in it is positioned to engage with the square headed anchor bolt and

then swinging the right-hand end of the axle forwards till engagement has been completed.

After re-fitting the rear wheel, check the rear chain adjustment, and, if necessary, re-set it.

Then check the rear brake adjustment and, if necessary, re-set it.
