Adjusting the Brakes
The brakes are adjusted at the factory, but should still be checked before every use. If the braking
power is insufficient, the brakes should be adjusted. Perform the adjustment on a dry, non-slippery
surface.
There are two forms of adjustment. One adjusts the brake cable tension and the other adjusts the
set of brake calipers. Adjusting the brake cable tension is usually sufficient. If you are unable to
achieve sufficient braking force by tightening the cable or if one wheel brakes more effectively than
the other, you may need to adjust the brake caliper.
Adjusting the Brake Cable Tension
1. Loosen the screw (1) that locks the brake cable mount using a 3/16” Allen wrench.
2. Adjust the tension in the cables by turning the brake adjustment screw (2) that protrudes from
the bottom of the brake cable mount using a 3/16” Allen wrench.
3. After adjusting the brake adjustment screw, retighten the locking screw.
4. To test the tension, squeeze the brake lever tightly, tilt the unit back about 35°, and push the unit
forward along the ground. The combined action should make the wheels skid on the ground.
5. If the wheels spin, the brakes are not adjusted correctly. If the cable is too tight, it may engage
the brakes when you are not pulling on the brake lever.
