Hover-1 INSTINCT H1-EGBR Operation Manual page 10

When brakes are not applied, brake pads should be 1 - 2
mm from the rotor. If brake pads are too close to the rotor,
the brakes are too tight. The brake pads should be in line
with the rotor surface.
Bicycles equipped with disc brakes will occasionally make
a slight scraping noise when the wheels are turning without
the brakes being applied. This is normal.
The rear brake should always be applied before and while
the front brake is applied. Applying only the front brake to
slow or stop at high speeds may result in the rider being
ejected from the seat and potentially forward over the
handlebars. It is best to apply even pressure to both brake
handles when slowing or stopping.
Pull the lever to ensure the brake moves freely and stops
the Instinct. If the lever can be pulled at to the handlebar,
the brake is too loose.
Brakes will wear down over time. If the brakes do not
perform well, they may need to be adjusted or to have
the pads replaced. To have your bicylce hardware tted
and maintained contact your local bike specialist.
Brake pads and rotors get very hot during use and
could burn skin. The edges can also be very sharp
and cut skin. Do not touch the brake pads or rotors
directly after riding your Instinct.
Proper use of your brake is vital to ensure safe,
e icient stopping. To avoid misuse and potential
injury, do not apply sudden or excessive force to
your brakes. Apply your brakes gradually and give
yourself enough room to come to a complete stop
safely.
