8.11 Parking brake
8.11.1 Brake cable adjustment
Check the free movement of parking brake lever A. It should
have a value of 0.2–0.4 in (5–10 mm).
To do this, loosen the locknut
(1)
and rotate the adjusting
screw
(2)
counterclockwise to pull cable so that the brake
lever has a free run within 0.2–0.4 in (5–10 mm).
To loosen the brake cable, loosen the locknut
(1)
and rotate
the adjusting screw
(2)
clockwise.
If the adjustment capability at the lever is at its maximum
and the brake is still not performing adequately, then
there’s also adjustment capability at the brake caliper. If this
is the case, the adjustment at the lever should be backed
off, as in loosened the opposite way of what you’re trying to
achieve, then adjust the brake at the caliper. The brake lever
adjustment should be left for finer adjustment of the brake.
8.11.2 Adjusting the brake caliper on the Snowdog with
the reverse gearbox
Fully loosen the tension of the brake cable on the lever.
Lever should move freely without binding or restriction. If it
does not, lubricate or replace the cable.
Loosen the screw
(1)
and pull the cable until the necessary
clearance between the brake pads and the brake disk is
set up.
Tighten the screw
(1)
and check the movement of the
parking brake lever.

Loosen the nuts
(2)
of the brake caliper bracket and adjust
the position of the brake pads to the brake disk.
Сheck the functioning of the parking brake.
If the brake is adjusted too tightly it won’t allow the disk to
rotate freely. At this point the brake adjustment should be
loosened.
8.12 Adjusting the throttle
To adjust the throttle lever, loosen the locknut
(2)
and rotate
the adjusting screw
(1)
counterclockwise. Pull the rope so
that the throttle has a free run within 0.2–0.3 in (5–7 mm).
1. To loosen the throttle cable, loosen the locknut
(2)
and rotate the adjusting screw
(1)
clockwise. Loosen
the cable.
2. Screw the adjusting screw
(2)
in to increase the
free movement of the throttle lever. Unscrew the
adjusting screw
(2)
to decrease the free travel of the
throttle lever.
3. At the end of the adjustment, tighten the locknut
(1)
.
4. If you cannot achieve the needed throttle lever by
rotating the adjusting screw or the throttle cable
jams while moving, please contact the Snowdog
dealer to adjust, lubricate or change the throttle
cable.
8.13 Washing and cleaning
After each trip, clean the Snowdog of any snow, ice,
branches, leaves, dirt, or other foreign parts. Use water and
a cleansing agent. Before using the cleansing agent, read its
instructions for use.
