Ensure that the brake is properly adjusted by
measuring the gap between the brake lever (3) and
the sleeve behind it.
The gap should be 0.040"/1 mm when the brake is
not applied.
1 Loosen the lock nuts (1).
2 Tension the cable with the adjustment screw (2)
so that the gap between the brake lever and the
sleeve is 0.040" / 1 mm.
3 Tighten the lock nuts (1) after adjustment. When
the brake cable is adjusted, you should make
sure that the brake lever does not have too
much play. If the free movement of the lever
exceeds 3/8" / 9 mm, this should be adjusted by
tightening the nut on the brake lever.
WARNING!
A poorly adjusted brake can
result in reduced braking ability.

The brake is properly adjusted when the brake
lever (1) is completely vertical. If it is not, adjust the
brake wire by pulling the rubber sleeve (2) aside,
loosening the lock nut (3), adjusting the nut (4) so
that the lever is vertical, then tightening the lock nut
(3) again.
If the brake does not apply despite the adjustment
described above, the brake disc can be adjusted
with the screw (5) at the lower part of the brake
lever.
