CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS : BRAKE COMPENSATOR

To perform any checks, it is necessary to calculate the weight on the rear axle in order to refer to the adjustment graphs.
Calculate :
1) The rear weight of the vehicle (empty tank + 1 person)
2) The weight of fuel in the fuel tank
3) The weight of options fitted to the vehicle
4) Add these three weights together to obtain the TOTAL REAR VEHICLE WEIGHT; remove all objects from the vehicle totalling more than
10 kg in weight.
5) Select the adjustment graph that corresponds to the vehicle model. (Refer to tableN° 4).
6) Check the brake pressure.
7) Adjust the load sensitive brake compensator if necessary.
