Make sure that there is a certain idle
stroke in the movement of the lever (6),
to prevent the brake from remaining ap-
plied and the consequent untimely wear
of the braking elements.
Lever (6) idle stroke: 4 mm (measured
at the lever end).
◆
Lock the pump control rod (5) by means
of the lock nut (4).
After the adjustment, make sure that the
wheel rotates freely with released
brake.
Check the braking efficiency.

cial Dealer.
