BRAKE SYSTEM

BRAKE-LOCK OPERATION
The brake-lock arm turns through the brake-lock cable as soon as pulling the brake-lock lever. The turning
movement is converted to axial movement by the brake-lock adjuster connected to the body with the thread
A.
The axial movement transmits automatically from sleeve piston to adjust bolt. The adjust bolt presses brake
pad to brake disk through the adjust nut/caliper piston. In this bout, the adjust bolt and asjust nut move
together with the relation as shown in the illustration.
When releasing the brake-lock lever, each parts return to home position, the caliper piston will be returned
by an elasticity transform of piston seal, the adjust bolt will be returned by the adjust bolt spring, the brake-
lock adjuster will be returned by the return spring.
