Roll Bar: Adjustments




Adjusting The Roll-Over Bar In The Vehicle






The rollover bar was measured for the vehicle and fixed with locating pins at the factory.

Adjustment procedure: Unscrew the collar nuts (Item A) at the front and rear screw mounting points. Lift the roll-over bar and add or remove lining plates (Item B) according to the required adjustment. The sleeves (Item C) must not be removed. The oval-head screw and the fitting pin (Item D) may be removed only if the rollover bar is replaced.

After fitting the roll-over bar into the vehicle, it is necessary to adjust the rollover bar. This is achieved by inserting shim plates at the front and rear screwed points until dimensions A and B are achieved.
