• Then tighten both Allen screws up again.

• Make sure that the brake fully locks into place when

the lever is operated and does not snap back.

The compact brakes only operate on one driving wheel each!

With pneumatic tyres, always ensure that both driving
wheels have the same tyre pressure to achieve good direc-
tional stability!

After completion of the setting process, retighten the loo-
sened bolts and test the brakes!

7.7. Wheels and tyres

The spoked wheels are attached to the frame by means of
a quick-release axle (Ø12mm) (Fig. 23). The Pyro start
plus+ model comes with quick-release axles as standard.
(For quick-release axles see section 7.8)

Check that the wheels are securely fixed each time they
are fitted!

Adjustment of the brakes should be carried out
by specialist trained staff. However, if you have
enough experience, you can also carry out this
work yourself. Nevertheless, please bear in mind
that incorrectly adjusted brakes may have life-
threatening consequences.
