WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BE-
FORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tight-
ened securely - otherwise injury or damage may
result.
3. Shift gears to check for correct adjustment.
NOTE: If gears do NOT shift, increase cable tension and
retest proper shifting of gears. If the chain skips a gear,
loosen the cable tension until correct operation is achieved.
CAUTION
DO NOT overtighten the cables. Doing so may
cause the cable to break. If PROCEDURE A does
NOT solve the problem, take your Li'l Excelerator
to an authorized Invacare Dealer or qualified
technician for proper adjustment.
NOTE: Shift gears when pedals are stationary or when
minimum amount of pedaling is being done to avoid wear
on rotating parts of hub.
