Check that the brake is correctly adjusted by
measuring the distance between the brake lever
and the front edge of the recess on the chassis.
The distance should be 0–1 mm when the brake is
not applied.

Remove the lock nuts (1).
2
Stretch the wire with the adjuster screw (2) so that
the distance between the brake lever and the front
edge of the recess on the chassis is 1 mm.

When the brake wire has been adjusted, check that
the brake lever does not have too much movement.
If the lever's free movement exceeds 9 mm, this
should be adjusted by tightening the nut on the
brake lever.
