◆
Measure the distance covered by the le-
ver before the brake starts it braking ac-
tion. The idle stroke at the end of the
brake lever must be about 10 mm.
To adjust the clearance, proceed as fol-
lows:
◆
Force the spring (1) to reach the seat (2)
of the threaded rod.
◆
Lock the rotation of the threaded rod by
acting on the appropriate seat (2) with a
spanner.
◆
Act on the adjuster (3).
◆
Put on the brake repeatedly and make
sure that the wheel turns freely after the
brake has been released.
◆
Check the braking efficiency.

completely, this means that the brake
shoes are worn out.
