26.1 Knee lever brake
26.1.1 Opening and closing the brake
The knee lever brake can be equipped with
different brake levers, such as, e.g., standard
brake lever, long brake lever and flip-down
brake handle. The brake levers can be
mounted in the standard position, or low. How-
ever, the operation is the same with all brake
levers.

the brake lever down. In the closed position,
the braking bolt presses the tyre in by approx.
4 mm.

Please note that the knee lever brake is a
parking brake which may only be applied when
the product is at a standstill. This is not a ser-
vice brake that is suitable for reducing speed.
Brake lever
To open the brake pull the brake lever back
up. In the open position, the distance between
the braking bolt and the tyre is approx. 3 to
maximum of 4 mm.

26.1.2 Setting the brake
Settings on the brake could be necessary for
the following reasons:
You have changed the tyre or the tyre
pressure.
You have changed the wheel track or posi-
tion of the drive wheels.
The brake is pulling unevenly or insuffi-
ciently after extended use.
To adjust the knee lever brake, proceed as
follows on both sides:
1. Initial situation: Drive wheels mounted on
the product and the knee lever brakes
open.
2. For the correct positioning of the knee
lever brake, slightly loosen the M5 clamp
screws (AF 4 mm) so that the knee lever
brake can be moved on the hexagon rail.
