The threaded hook for the brake cable
has to be installed now on the short
end of the brake pedal.
Insert the barrel nut into the hole and
place the thread of the hook into the
groove of the treadle. Now, screw the
hook into the barrel nut until the
threaded end protrudes about 3/4"
(2 cm).
Place the brake cable with the largest
loop around the bolt and wind the cable
around the brake disk twice, in the right
direction (clockwise if you look from the
camera side of the picture). Make sure
that the cable is guided neatly and
does not cross itself.
In this stage, the spring keeps the
pedal end pressed against the shaft
cords underneath the middle section.
While pushing the pedal down in next
step of the assembling, you have to
take care that the pedal end does not
interfere with the shaft cords!
Hook the cable loop onto the threaded hook while you use your other hand to push the pedal
end down. Again, you could use some help to do this. If you are working alone, you can tie
the pedal to the lower side rail so that you can use your two hands to install the cable.
Pull the brake pedal up so that the cable can set itself and check once more to see that the
cable runs properly around the brake disk. Pushing the pedal down takes the tension off the
cable, enabling you to make corrections if necessary.
Adjust the position of the brake pedal: In the rest position, the brake pedal should be
approximately horizontal. This can be adjusted by turning the threaded hook more or less
deeply into the barrel nut. To do this, the cable has to be taken off the hook again. If you turn
the eye bolt further into the barrel nut, the brake pedal comes down. If you turn the threaded
hook further out of the barrel nut, the brake pedal will come up.
