Operation
6.5.4.1 Retracting the brake linings
Disc brakes require wearing-in time. The braking
force increases over time. You therefore need to be
aware that the braking force may increase during the
wearing-in period. The same happens after brake
pads or discs are replaced.
1
Accelerate S pedelec to about 25 km/h.
2
Brake S pedelec until it comes to a halt.
3
Repeat process 30 - 50 times.
The disc brake is retracted and provides optimal
braking power.
6.5.4.2 Setting the grip distance on a Magura
disc brake lever
You can adjust the brake lever position (grip
distance) to your requirements. Such adjustment
does not affect the pressure point or the position
of the brake linings.
Use a T25 TORX® wrench to turn the setting
screw (1) to adjust the grip distance.
Figure 63: Adjusting the grip distance on a Magura disc brake
lever
Turn the setting screw/twist knob (5) anti-
clockwise towards minus (–).
The brake lever moves closer to the handlebar
grip.
Turn the setting screw clockwise towards
plus (+).
The brake lever moves away from the
handlebar grip.
6.5.4.3 Setting the pressure point on a Magura
brake lever
The pressure point setting is adjusted using the
twist knob.
Turn the twist knob towards the plus (+)
symbol.
The
brake lever
moves closer to the handlebar
grip. Re-adjust the grip distance as necessary.
The lever pressure point activates sooner.

point
Crash caused by incorrectly set grip distance
If brake cylinders are set incorrectly or installed
wrongly, the braking power may be lost at any
time. This may cause a crash with injuries.
Ensure that the fully applied brake lever is at a
minimum distance of 20 mm from the
handlebars (4).
WARNING
!
Brake failure due to incorrect setting
If the pressure point is set with brakes where the
brake linings and brake disc have reached their
wear limit, the brakes may fail and cause an
accident with injury.
Before you adjust the pressure point, ensure
that the brake linings and brake disc have not
reached their wear limit.
