Inspecting and Adjusting the Lock Brace

Inspecting and adjusting the lock brace

Preparations




Raise the tension bow with button on dash as per illustration.

Inspecting the lock brace




Push the bottom end of the lock brace down by 10 mm (3/8") and release slowly. Repeat this operation several times.
The lock brace must consistently return to its original position without assistance. If not, the lock brace assembly must be replaced.

Adjusting lock brace





Note! The picture shows catch with rubber lips folded away.

Carefully push down the tension bow by hand slowly to check if lock brace arch enters the lock catch in the center, (see illustration).
Adjust the lock brace if necessary and re-check how brace arch enters lock catch.
After final adjustment, torque screws to 10 Nm (7 ± 2 lbs).

Note! The lock brace MUST enter in the center of the lock catch, otherwise damage may occur to the lock catch and/or to the cover plate.
