6. Shorten the hose

9. Hose routing with the Heat Eater fitting.
The Heat Eater fitting of the Louise caliper allows a 45° rotation for the optimum hose rou-
ting without using tools. Fix the hose on the fork and/or frame after you have found the
ideal position, the Heat Eater must NOT move during compression of the fork and/or
frame!
Do not worry when you hear friction between rotor and pads. A slight drag is
normal on disc brakes with automatic pad wear adjustment during the break-in peri-
od. This drag will disappear after a while. The reason for this is that the brake pads
find their optimum working position towards the rotor, only after a slight wear during
the break-in period. Slight drag might also happen after a brake pad change or in
case of an incorrectly installed wheel.
In case of a constantly dragging disc brake causing noise your frame is badly
aligned. In such a case you should contact your dealer who can care with the MAGURA
Gnann-o-mat disc optimizer for a totally even surface of the disc brake mounts. These are
absolutely necessary for a drag free function of your brake.
New brakes and/or new rotors or brake pads must always be run in by
breaking at least 30 times from a speed of 30 km/h to achieve the maximum brake
power. Take your bike to a safe place to run in the brake.
10. Reach adjust is done with a 2 mm Allen key. Turning key clockwise: lever
blade moves away from the handlebar, turning counterclockwise: blade moves to
the handlebar.
Julie HP is a high-pressure system and comes with a reinforced hose, the
„MAGURA Disc Tube" wearing also this imprint. The Disc Tube needs an additional
insert for a proper fitting. Never mix and match the parts from the
MAGURA Louise with the ones of our rim brakes or other manufacturers' brakes! Any
misuse might cause serious accidents!
Never touch either the rotor or the brake calliper after long braking as this may
cause serious burns.
