Adjusting The Brakes; Brake Adjustment - Sharp Bk-Cd04E Bedienungsanleitung

__________________________________________________________________________________
Quick release devices are designed to be operated by hand. Never use tools to block or unblock the
mechanism so as not to damage it.
To adjust the clamping force of the wheel axle, you must use the adjusting nut and not the quick
release lever. If the lever can be moved with minimal hand pressure, it is not tight enough. It is
therefore necessary to tighten the adjusting nut.
The quick-release system must mark the fork dropouts when closed in the locked position.
At each adjustment operation, check that the front wheel is correctly centered in relation to the fork.
To adjust, close and open the quick-release mechanisms, apply the following method:

Adjusting the brakes

Before every use, check that the front and rear brakes are working perfectly.
The handle on the right activates the rear brake. The left handle activates the front brake.
It is recommended to distribute your braking force approximately 60/40 between the front and rear.
The brake lever should not be in contact with the handlebars, and the sheaths should not be bent at
right angles so that the cables can slide with a minimum of friction. Damages, fraying, rusty cables
must be changed immediately.
WARNINGS:
•
In case of rain or damp weather, braking distances are longer. It is
recommended to anticipate braking in such a situation.
•
If turning and braking, the handlebars can have a negative influence on the
cyclist's response time.
•
Do not touch the disc brakes after heavy use of your power-assisted bicycle's
braking system as you may get burnt.
