ADJUSTMENT OF THE REAR STEP COMPONENTS

12. ADJUSTING THE GRABBER BRACKET

With the bolts attaching the catch grabber bracket finger tight, shut the wheel carrier. This will
centralise the grabber bracket.
Taking care not to knock the grabber bracket, release the catch and swing the wheel carrier out into
the open position.

Tighten the bolts securing the grabber bracket to the rear bar.

FINAL CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT ON THE WHEEL CARRIER

With all of the bolts now tightened, shut the wheel carrier until the catch locks. The arm should
meet little resistance as it shuts and the catch should make a crisp ‘click’ sound as it closes.
At this point, it should not be possible to pull the wheel carrier open without releasing the catch.
There should be no free play between the wheel carrier and the rear bar.
Stand behind the vehicle and pull the catch lever. The catch should make a crisp ‘click’ sound and
the arm should open without further assistance.

IMPORTANT: - IF THE ARM DOES NOT OPERATE IN THIS

MANNER REPEAT STEPS 10 TO 13.
