5.17 Parking brake adjustment
The distance between the brake pivot and tyre is
critical for the parking brake effectiveness. When
the brake is fully open, this distance should be 14
mm (Fig. 62).
With pneumatic tyres, please make sure that your
tyres are inflated to the correct air pressure.
NOTE
The tyre pressure strongly influences the effect
of the brake. If the tyre pressure is too low, the
brake may fail. The recommended tyre pressure
is shown on the side wall of the tyre casing.
You can adjust the brakes by moving the brake
carrier together with the brake on the side frame.
1.
To do this, loosen the two clamp screws
that connect the brake carrier to the side
frame (1, Fig. 63).
2.
You can now move the brake carrier until
the desired distance is reached (2, Fig. 63).
