WARNING
After adjusting the brake lever position,
make sure that the pin on the brake lever
holder is firmly inserted in the hole in the
adjusting dial.
CAUTION:
After adjusting the brake lever position,
make sure that there is no brake drag.
WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the
brake system. Before the vehicle is operat-
ed, the air must be removed by bleeding
the brake system. Air in the brake system
will considerably reduce braking perform-
ance and could result in loss of control and
possibly an accident. Therefore, check the
brake system and bleed if necessary.
