BRAKE ROD ADJUSTMENT
1. Make sure the rod is installed into the proper
hole in the brake arm. The brake rod should be
in bottom hole on the brake arm as shown
below. Never use the upper hole. The proper
adjustment can not be achived in this position.
2. To increase braking. Turn the wing nut down
on the brake rod. Do not turn the wingnut down
to far as this will result a constant braking action
and will excessively wear the brake band and
cause premature failure.
