Checking The Brake Rider 11 R And Rider 11 C; Adjusting The Brake; Adjusting The Parking Brake - Husqvarna Rider 11 R Operator's Manual

2 Check the tension of the steering wires by squeezing
them together by the arrows as illustrated. It should be
possible to push them together so that the distance
between them is half as much, without using unnecessary
force.
3 If necessary, the wires can be adjusted by tightening the
adjuster nuts on each side of the steering collar. Do not
over tighten the cables; they should only be drawn in
towards the steering collar.
Hold the cable, for example using an adjustable wrench,
so that it does not twist.
If you only tension one side the steering wheel's centre
position may change.
Check the wire tension on completion of the adjustment
as per item 2.
