Various brakes are available for the
momo dreirad.
depending on the
individual requirements of the user.
3.2.1 Parking brake
The parking brake supports the use
when climbing on and off the tricycle
and secures it against inadvertently
rolling away. To activate the parking
brake, press the lever (
A
) on the handle-
bar stem (
B
) downwards. To release the
parking brake, push the lever up again.
Always ensure that the brake or the
brake blocks function correctly and
have been adjusted (see below).
Adjustment of the parking brake or brake blocks
Ensure that the braking function imme-
diately takes effect on actuation of the
parking brake lever, taking the neces-
sary backlash into account.
Due to „settling“ of the Bowden cab-
les and the natural wear on the brake
blocks, it is necessary to reset the brake
or replace the brake blocks after a cer-
tain amount of time.
Each gap between the rim and the brake lining should not be larger than
1.5 mm. To do this, loosen the clamping screw (C), press the brake blocks to-
gether by hand, pull the Bowden cable taut and then re-tighten the clam-
ping screw. If the brake blocks are not accurately aligned with the rim edge
(D), you must readjust them accordingly. In order to change the alignment
of the brake blocks, loosen the screws (E). Leave this work to your specialist
dealer in case of any uncertainty.

auf Herstellernamen oder -zeichen und Typ-Bezeichnung. Neue Bremsklöt-
