Remove the 2 worn brake pads.
Fit 2 new brake pads.
Screw in 2 new Allen screws

Note: Take care that the new brake pads
are safely held in both bores (top
and bottom).
Tighten the 2 Allen screws with a torque of
10 Nm / 88 lb. in.
Attention: At each exchange of the brake pads always use by the new Allen screws contained
in the brake pad set. These are treated by the factory with a securing agent and can
be used only once.
Attention: If the brake pad set is supplied with locking devices, these must be used.
Note: New or renewed brake pads need to be run in .to avoid glazing and embrittlement of
the brake pad material. Use the brake during the break-in periode (the first 30
minutes) moderately. Avoid short and hard braking from high speeds.

ROTAX recommends to use exclusively the original steering wheel and to tighten it only with the
fasteners (screw and securing nut) supplied by ROTAX.
Only with the securing nut (high type) it is sufficiently secured against turning in the steering wheel
hub.
The dimension of the plastic material hub is especially matched to the original ROTAX steering
column.
The steering wheel can be adjusted in 2 positions:
The steering wheel can be fitted 25 mm / 0,98 in. lower than standard.
Remove the two fastening screws from the steering wheel hub.
Knock the hub with a plastic hammer into the new position.
Retorque fastening screws.
Note: If you have knocked the hub too far down in error, you can correct the position by
knocking with a plastic hammer at the central part of the hub.
