Adjust the gap by:
• Releasing the parking brake.
• Loosening the connecting rod by removing the
spring clip and the washer.
• Turning the connecting rod in or out of the spring
(see diagram) to adjust the gap.
• Firmly attach the brake's connecting rod in the
hole on the brake lever and assemble the was-
her and spring clip. Make sure that the washer
and spring clip are on the outside of the brake
lever.
• Apply the parking brake and check the gap once
again.
• Repeat the adjustment procedure until the
correct gap is obtained.

Ineffective brake power

As the brake is only used as a parking brake, wear
is negligeable. If the brake power is nevertheless
ineffective, this can be adjusted:
• Release the three bolts (N12) which hold the
brake lining packet.
• Press on the brake lever so that the brake lining
centres itself around the brake drum and tighten
the three bolts with moment (27 Nm).
