tion. The idle stroke at the end of the
brake lever must be about 10 mm.
To adjust the clearance, proceed as fol-

of the threaded rod.
◆
Lock the rotation of the threaded rod by
acting on the appropriate seat (2) with a
spanner.

◆
Put on the brake repeatedly and make
sure that the wheel turns freely after the
brake has been released.
◆
Check the braking efficiency.

If the adjuster (3) can be screwed up
completely, this means that the brake
shoes are worn out.
In this case, see p. 53 (CHECKING THE
