Operate the rod adjuster by hand in direction of pressure. If the free play
of the diaphragm cylinder pressure rod is 35 mm max., the wheel brake
needs to be re-adjusted.
The adjustment is made on the re-adjusting hexagon of the rod adjuster.
Set the free play "a" to 10 ... 12% of the connected brake lever length „B".
Example: Lever length B = 150 mm corresponds to a free play of
15 ... 18 mm.
With automatic rod adjusters, the re-adjustment of the wheel brake is
made automatically when the brake cams have twisted by approx. 15%.
