BRAKE WITH SUPPORT PLATE
SERVICE MANUAL
YOU HAVE TO ADJUST THE BRAKE WHEN THE WHEELS ARE PROPERLY INFLATED (except solid tyre)
The position of the brake depends on the position of the rear wheel.
To adjust the brake.
Loosen the two bolts A that fix the brake to the plate of support B.
Position the brake-knurled rod C at a distance D of a few millime-
tres and parallel to the ground.
B
Temporarily fix one of the two bolts B and try the brake to check
C
whether the adjustment is good.
If necessary, repeat the same operation until reaching the good
D
adjustment.
A
A good adjustment has the brake not too hard to engage but brak-
ing, so you will have to find the suitable compromise.
Once you get the correct adjustment, tighten both bolts B properly
Proceed in the same manner on the other side.
If the range of adjustment is not enough, you can use any of the
four slots of the brake rod. Therefore, loosen the two bolts B until
you can detach the brake. Then position the brake differently.
To hold the nuts E you do not need the spanner because their
housing will hold them.
X
It is also possible to move the plate of support B along the frame.
Loosen the bolts E that fix the plate to the frame.
Loosen the bolt/washer/nut X that fixes the front side of the side guard.
E
Now, you can slide the plate. If the slot where the
bolt/washer/nut X is fixed does not allow
does not
allow a sufficient run, remove this bolt (then you will need to drill a new hole on the side guard) - see
also chapter "side guard".
The clamp F cannot slide over
the bolt/washer/nut G (that fixes the frame), but you
can fix the clamp
ahead or behind that bolt.
To move the plate, you need to remove it after screwing off the two bolts E and then re-mount it be-
yond the
bolt/washer/nut G.
Tighten the two bolts E making sure to fix the plate perpendicular to the ground.
