Setting brake pedal travel.
Brake pedals locked and in rest position.
Distance from brake pedal pivot point to brake pedal foot plate approx. 219 mm (corresponding to
pedal travel of approx. 186 mm).
In event of deviations coat thread of stop screws A with synthetic bonding agent X 903.050.084.
Set measurement of 219 mm and lock with lock nut. Set second stop screw in same manner. Ensure
that snubbers are fitted to stop screws.
Note:
This dimension only has to be measured in exceptional cases, e.g. after replacing the brake
pedals.

Setting piston rod play (T)
Set piston rod play T=0.5 to 1.0 mm with brake pedals locked, corresponding to pedal travel of
approx. 3 mm .
In event of deviations, turn piston rod as appropriate and lock with lock nut C .
Set second piston rod in same manner.

Setting piston travel
Release brake pedals. Open relevant bleed valve with full brake system. Depress brake pedal as far as
stop. Tighten stop screw B until piston in master brake cylinder has reached limit position. Then
unscrew stop screw B by one revolution (corresponding to approx. 1 mm clearance at base of piston)
and lock.
Set second master brake cylinder in same manner.
