rotate freely.
2. When the parking brake has been
released, check that partial braking of the
front wheels does not occur.
3. Check that the braking effect is even and that
the wheels stop with normal pedal travel.
4. Check that the pedal can be locked in the
applied position with normal pedal force.
5. Adjust as necessary using the wires'
adjuster screws (R and L).
