Risk of accident if the quick-release is tightened too weakly!
→ Tighten the quick-release so firmly that the tension lever leaves a
force-related imprint in the palm of your hand when you fold it down.
You can adjust the clamping force of the quick-release in the open state
by means of the plastic sleeve at the end of the quick-release.
Close the E14 connector as follows:
• The marked arrows must be aligned.
• Turn the plug and socket slightly back and
forth in front of each other without apply-
ing much pressure until the plug connec-
tion engages.
• Push the plug connection into each other
as far as it will go.
• Use cable ties if necessary to avoid contact of the E14 cable with the rear
wheel.
6.7. Brakes
In the following we will show you some steps to check pad and brake disc wear. The
following applies to all further work on the brake system:
The maintenance of the hydraulic system, e.g. in case of leakage or fluc-
tuating pressure point, requires sound technical skills.
→ In this case contact an HNF-NICOLAI dealer.
6.7.1. Wear of brake pads and discs
Brake pads and brake discs are subject to functional wear, which is caused by fric-
tion between the two parts. The wear depends on driving style, terrain, weather
and underground conditions, so that no binding indication of the necessary repla-
cement time can be given.
Brake discs only need to be replaced after approx. 4 to 5 changed pairs of brake
pads, as they are made of harder material. A regular check of the brake pads is
recommended every 500 km.
