3.2 Brakes
For the
momo tricycle.
different brakes are available, depending on the
user's individual requirements.
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 hand-
lebar 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 im-
mediately takes effect on actuation
of the parking brake lever, taking the
necessary backlash into account.
Due to "settling" of the Bowden cab-
les and the natural wear on the bra-
ke blocks, it is necessary to reset the
brake or replace the brake blocks af-
ter a certain 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 together by
hand, pull the Bowden cable taut and then re-tighten the clamping 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.
After each adjustment of the cantilever (V) brake, carry out a brake test. The
brake blocks may only be replaced by ones in an identical design. Observe the
manufacture name or marking and the type designation. New brake blocks
do not achieve the required braking effect until they have been used multiple
times.
