It is the gear which dominates all others because of:
● its careful construction
● its modern conception
● its very excellent service
giving it absolute superiority.
● It allows the use of 13-36 teeth freewheels.
● It operates with freewheels with six cogs.
● It always keeps the chain tension constant.
● It may be assembled and set with the greatest facility.
● Its operation is smooth, sure, silent.
● It lasts for a long time, with the minimum attention.
● It will function also with the transmission cable broken.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FITTING:

1) Ensure that the gear is fitted in line with chainwheel (or central in case of double chainwheel) and that screw 166 is very tight.
2) Be certain that chain is long enough to allow using the largest chainwheel with the largest freewheel cog.
3) Adjust the two screws 99 so that the chain cannot jump off the outside cog of the freewheel when changing gear.
4) If the freewheel is too near to the spokes, fit the spacing ring 651.
5) To give more or less tension to the chain remove the screw 815 and move spring end to another hole of equalizer.

N. B. – When cable is broken, the gear will still function on any cog il the spring 98 is disengaged.

WE DO NOT HOLD OURSELVES RESPONSIBLE FOR INCOVENIENCE OR DAMAGE CAUSED IF THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT CAREFULLY FOLLOWED.
