How do I adjust the steering on &Jog to control wobble?Updated a year ago
Controlling the Wobble of the &Jog Swivel Wheel
There are several variables which influence swivel wheel wobble on &Jog such as tire pressure, ground surface, forward speed, and weight distribution. As such, Veer designed the &Jog swivel wheel with adjustable bearing pre-load so you can fine tune the swivel performance.
Turning the bolt highlighted below adjusts the bearing pre-load thereby increasing or decreasing the steering friction of the swivel wheel.
To reduce swivel wheel wobble on &Jog
- Hold the swivel wheel to prevent it from rotating (left/right steering).
- Using an M6 Hex wrench rotate the bolt clockwise 2-3 revolutions.
- The adjuster will hit a hard-stop when the maximum pre-load is attained. You will feel the hard-stop when the bolt becomes harder to turn.
- DO NOT TIGHTEN BEYOND THE HARD-STOP.
- Test your &Jog to see if the wobble has been resolved.
- If not, repeat steps 2 & 3 until the wobble is eliminated.
Note that reversing the above procedure will reduce steering friction of the &Jog swivel wheel you would like to improve steering responsiveness.
