STEP 7:
REFLECTORS
All reflectors - front, rear, and wheels - should already be installed from the factory.
Front Reflector (white): You may need to position the reflector forward and then tighten the bracket
(Fig.17).
STEP 6:
BRAKES
Coaster Brake - Rear
Koda 12 & Koda 16 are equipped with a foot operated rear coaster brake. No adjustment is required. Simply
push/pedal backwards on the pedals to activate the brake.
Sidepull Brake - Front
Koda 12 & Koda 16 are equipped with a front, hand-operated side-pull brake. This brake is installed and
adjusted from the factory. If adjustment is necessary please follow steps below:
FRONT BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Be sure that the brake pads are aligned with the curve of the rim and that they contact the rim surface flat
and evenly
(Fig. 15)
. The brake pad angle and height can be adjusted by
loosening the hex nut that attaches the brake pad to the brake arm.
Loosen the brake cable anchor at the brake arm held by an hex bolt allowing the brake cable to freely glide
through its anchor
(Fig. 16)
.
Squeeze the brake arms/pads together until the brake pads contact the rim surface. Pull the cable taught
through its anchor and tighten the cable anchor bolt
(Fig. 16)
.
Squeeze the brake lever firmly several times to take the stretch out of the cable and make sure that it does
not slip through its anchor. If the cable tension is too tight to allow the wheel to spin freely,
loosen the anchor bolt and give the cable some slack. If the cable has too much slack and you cannot apply
enough stopping force to the rim, repeat procedure #3 to take the slack out of the cable.
Be sure that the brake arms are evenly spaced from the wheel and there is some clearance between
the brake pads and the rim surface.

.
The second axle nuts secure the wheel to the frame and are installed & adjusted from the factory.
