Operating the knee lever locking

To lock the brake, simply push the brake lever forwards
until it clicks into place (Fig. 21). To release the locking
brake again, simply pull the brake lever backwards (Fig.
22).
Adjusting the knee lever locking
brake (compact brake)
If you notice that the available braking efficiency is no longer
sufficient or is uneven, you must do as follows:
• Check the tyre tread depth. At the same time, check for
even wear of the tyres. If the tread depth in the middle
of the tyre is < 1 mm, the tyre must be changed. If you
have the necessary technical knowledge, you could
change the tyre yourself. If you do not feel confident to
do this yourself, your specialist retailer will be able to
help you.
• Now check the adjustment of the brake. This must be
set so that the gap between the surface of the wheel
and the braking bolt is 15 mm with the brake off (Fig.
23). The braking bolt must be aligned horizontally, that
is parallel to the ground surface.
• To adjust the gap. loosen the two Allen screws on the
brake mounting (Fig. 24).
• You can then push the braking system along the moun-
ting into the correct position.
