CAUTION
Insufficient braking action of the knee lever wheel lock
Risk of accidents, falling
►
Maintain sufficient air pressure in pneumatic tyres. For the correct air pressure, see the chapter "Technical
Data".
When the rear wheel position is changed (adjusting the wheel adapter) or in case of readjustment, the knee lever
wheel lock must be adjusted on both sides.
After changing the position of the rear wheel, the manufacturer recommends adjusting the knee lever wheel lock by
shifting it on the frame.
Adjustment by shifting on the frame (standard setting)
>
For wheels with pneumatic tyres:
verify correct air pressure prior to adjustment.
1) Loosen 2 x Allen head screws on the clamping plate of the knee lever wheel lock (see fig. 37/see fig. 39, item
1).
2) Slide/adjust the clamping plate on the frame (see fig. 37/see fig. 39, item 2). When the wheel lock is not
engaged, the gap between the tyre and the wheel lock bolt should be
5 mm max.
(see fig. 38/see fig. 40).
3) Tighten all Allen head screws to a torque of
10 Nm
.
INFORMATION: After adjustment the left and right knee lever wheel locks must both have the same
braking force.
Adjustment by sliding in the slotted hole (fine tuning if needed)

For wheels with pneumatic tyres:
verify correct air pressure prior to adjustment.
1) Loosen 2 x Allen head screws on the slotted hole of the clamping plate (see fig. 37/see fig. 39, item 3).
