18.5 Disc and rim brakes

Normally there is one disc and one rim brake
fitted to the product. Where possible, both
brakes should be operated simultaneously and
the braking requirement reduced by driving in a
way that anticipates the requirement to reduce
speed if necessary.
The brakes are operated using the brake lever.

In the event of abrupt hard braking, there
is a risk that you might fall forward with your
upper body and thereby cause injuries to your-
self.
Please make sure that the braking sur-
faces on the rim and the brake pads on the rim
breaks do not come into contact with oils or
greases which could otherwise impair the brak-
ing effect. If rims or brake pads do come into
contact with oils or greases, the brake pads
must be replaced and the brake disc and rim
must be professionally cleaned with brake
cleaner (e.g. Weicon surface cleaner).
