HAND BRAKE

The Cheetah, 4-wheeler version is delivered with
parking brakes as standard. Drum Brakes can
be ordered as an option

The brake is simple to use. Push the handle
forwards (A) to activate and pull the handle back
(B) to deactivate the brake.

The hand brake is mounted in a fitting on the
frame. Move the fitting forward or backward, ac-
cording to how tight the brake should be. When
the fitting is moved backward, the brake will be
tighter. Move the fitting forward and the brake
will be looser.

Loosen the 4 screws (C) with the enclosed 4
mm Allen key to adjust the hand brake. Fasten
the screws in the position required.

Keep the recommended air pressure, 110
PSI/7,5 bar in the driving wheels, to make
the brakes work properly.

Keep the recommended safety distance,
3/8", between the wheel and the brake
block.

Watch out not to get your fingers caught at
position (D), when activating the brake.
