parallelism of brake pads and the brake disc).
2. Fastening bolts of a caliper.
3. Brake cable fi xing bolt.
4. Brake cable stop.
5. Bolt that adjust the distance between the pads.
6. Locknut of the adjusting bolt.
Adjusting the brake caliper:
Fully loosen the tension of the brake cable on the lever,
as described in paragraph 13.9.1. Ensure ease of pushing the
lever and the parking brake cable and ease of returning them to
the starting position.
1. If the movement of the lever is complicated, lubricate or
replace cable.
2. If the parking brake lever is in the starting position, and
the cable is slack — adjust the tension of the cable on the parking
brake caliper. To do this, loosen the bolt (3) and pull the cable to
remove its slackness. Do not create tension in the cable. Tighten
the bolt (3) and check the operation of the parking brake lever.
3. Turn the bolts (1) to adjust the position of the caliper
to the brake disc. The fi xed brake pad should be parallel to the
brake disc. Adjust minimum possible distance between the fi xed
brake pad and brake disc. The brake pad is allowed to graze on
the brake disk if it is not obstructing the disk`s rotation.
Loosen the locknut (6). Tighten the bolt (5) until the
moment of touching of the movable brake pads to the brake
disc. Holding the bolt (5), tighten the locknut (6). Check the
rotation of the brake disk. The brake pads are allowed to graze
on the brake disk if they are not obstructing the disk`s rotation.

or replace cable.
2. Loosen the bolt (1) and pull the cable until the
necessary clearance between the brake pads and the
brake disk is set up.
3. Tighten the bolt (1) and check the movement of the
parking brake lever.
4. Loosen the nuts (2) of the brake caliper bracket and
