4. Tighten the M5 fixing screws (AF 4 mm)
again to 4 Nm.
5. Then check the correct setting of the
brakes: On a slope (7° gradient) the prod-
uct should stand firm with the brake ap-
plied. This is the case if, with the brake ap-
plied, the tyre is depressed or deformed by
approximately 4 mm by the brake pin (at
the specified tyre inflation pressure). When
the brake is open, the distance between
the brake pin and the tyre is approx. 3 to
maximum 4 mm.
6. The actuating force of the brake lever can
be adjusted using the M5 joint screws and
M5 nuts. For this purpose, you need a slot-
ted screwdriver and an open-ended span-
ner (AF 8 mm). The screw is held at the
front with the slotted screwdriver and the
open-ended spanner (AF 8 mm) is used to
tighten or loosen the nut at the rear. An im-
portant point here is that both joint screws
must be tightened equally as this leads to
a long-lasting uniform actuating force of
the brake lever.

Note:
The brake pin is usually mounted in the stand-
ard position (see following figure). The assem-
bly of the brake pin in the other possible posi-
tion (see following figure) may be necessary
after the adjustment of the drive wheels.
