Brakes Check - EMG Lord Black Aluminium Operating Instructions Manual

BRAKES CHECK

Check brake optimal function by applying force on the brake lever until half
stroke (Pic.1). At this stage the brake pads should be firmly pressed against
the rim surface (Pic.2).
For optimum braking, the brake pads must be aligned and pressed against the rim
surface with their entire length (Pic.3).
When the brake lever is released the brake pads should clear away from the rim surface.
The clearance between the brake pads and rim should be equal on both sides. The
brake pads and rim braking surface should be regularly checked for wear.
To inspect the brake pads for wear, slide back the cable protector and press inwards on
both brakes to pull out the "J" guide from the clamp. In this moment the brake coils
should push both brakes outward showing the brake pads surface. Brake pads have wear
indicators carved on the brake surface. As long as these carvings are visible, the brake
pads do not require to be replaced (Pic.4).
After inspection push both brakes inwards and connect the J guide. Slide the cable
protector back.
