8. Use of the brakes
•
Adjust Brakes:
As soon as you feel that the braking lever feels a bit loose, squeeze it firmly a couple
of times. This could re give the brake handle its elasticity.
When the brake fluid indicator lights up, contact our service center (see Bohlt.nl)
or an authorized mechanic who can change the brake fluid.
•
Replace brake disc:
As soon as you feel the brake doesn't function properly, you must contact our
service center (to see Bohlt.nl) or an authorized mechanic to replace the brake disc
or the brake plate.
•
Period of accustomization:
The disk brake has a certain accustomization period. We advise you not to squeeze
the brake too firmly, this can damage the brake pads and/or brake plate. Always
use the brake gradually to come to a complete stop. During the first week when
using the Bastard RDW and its brake you can hear some sounds, this is normal.
Attention:
•
Never use any lubricants near the brake disc, brake pads or brake caliper. Never
touch the brake pads, this could reduce the braking performance.
•
An hydraulic disk brake has a powerful braking performance. Before you use the
Bastard RDW we recommend you to practice braking several times in quiet
environment. Hydraulic disk brakes are considerably different from ordinary disk
brakes and require some practice. When braking too abruptly you could damage
something or hurt yourself.
