FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
· Hand tighten 1x M8 Nyloc nut (Item4) to one end of the spindle bar (Item 6). · Hold the spindle bar vertically with the nut at the bottom end of the bar. · Slide 1x M8 washer (Item 5) down the bar, followed by 1x Bobbin (Item 1) & the LHS spacer
(Item 2) in the orientation shown above. · Slide the assembly through the Left-hand side (LHS) of the front wheel spindle ensuring the
spacer fits snugly into the spindle. · Insert the RHS spacer (Item 3) on to the protruding RHS of the spindle bar, followed by the
remaining bobbin, M8 washer & Nyloc nut. R&G Racing

· Evenly tighten the nuts on either side of the spindle bar until the Nyloc has engaged on both ends & the bobbins no longer rotate freely (but can still be rotated by hand).
Note: Do not over tighten & ensure a similar amount of thread is protruding from the nuts on each side of the spindle bar.
(This is more easily achieved by applying a small amount of thread lock or super glue to ONE of the nuts once it has around 3mm of thread protruding from the outer face).

NOTICE DE MONTAGE
· Serrez à la main 1x écrou Nyloc M8 (Article 4) à une extrémité de l’axe (Article 6). · Maintenez l’axe verticalement avec l’écrou à l’extrémité inférieure de l’axe. · Faites glisser 1x rondelle M8 (Article 5) le long de l’axe, suivie de 1x protection (Article 1) et de
l’entretoise côté gauche (Article 2) dans l’orientation indiquée ci-dessus. · Faites glisser l’ensemble à travers le côté gauche (gauche) de l’axe de roue avant en vous
assurant que l’entretoise s’insère parfaitement dans l’axe.. · Insérez l’entretoise droite (Article 3) sur la partie droite dépassant de l’axe, suivie de la
protection restante, de la rondelle M8 et de l’écrou Nyloc. · Serrez uniformément les écrous de chaque côté de l’axe jusqu’à ce que le Nyloc soit engagé aux
deux extrémités et que les protections ne tournent plus librement (mais peuvent toujours être tournées à la main).
Note: Ne serrez pas trop et assurez-vous qu’une quantité similaire de fil dépasse des écrous de chaque côté de l’axe.
(Ceci est plus facilement réalisable en appliquant une petite quantité de frein-filet ou de super glue sur l’un des écrous lorsque 3 mm de filetage dépassent de la face extérieure).
