▪ This can be achieved by fastening the tube to the wheel using self-tapping
screws, or steel pop rivets, placed between 5mm and 15mm from the outer
edge of the wheel, regardless of the tube.
▪ or by using a wheel lock, for non-smooth tubes.
CAUTION
The screws or pop rivets must only be fastened on the wheel and not on the
drive.
2.1.5.Installing the drive-tube assembly
CAUTION
• The motorised product must not be compressed between the brackets.
• Do not use the plastic cross without the metal bracket adapter.
▪ The drive can be fixed directly onto the drive bracket (the screw holes are
spaced 29mm apart). Use 2screws (3.5 x 9mm). A manual tightening torque of
1Nm is recommended.
▪ Drive plates are also available in the current
