Brakes
Release the throttle and use both brakes at the same time. Remember to activate both brakes
slowly to brake gently. Braking too hard may cause the scooter to tilt.
Be extra careful when braking in rain, snow or slippery roads. Avoid to drive on the markings on
the road as these may be very slippery. Take care when crossing railway tracks and manhole co-
verse. Reduce speed if you are in doubt.
After being washed or in rainy weather the effect of the brakes may be reduced. Brake slowly to
dry out the brakes.
Control of the front brake is made as follows:
Control of the brake fluid. The container is situated on the right part of the handle below the front
cover.
1. Place the scooter on the main stand on an even surface. Remove the front cover. Tilt the
scooter a little from side to side to see the level of the fluid
2. Check the level of the fluid
3. Refill with brake fluid if the level is below min
4. Check the brake cables for leaks
5. Check the brake blocks regularly. If they are worn to min. 1,5 mm they must be replaced
6. If the brakes are ”soft” they should be serviced at your authorized dealer
Control and adjustment of rear brakes is done as follows:
1. Place the scooter on the main stand
2. Check how the brake handle moves. The idling must be 20-30 mm. Adjustment is done as
follows:
Tighten or loosen the nut. When the nut is turned clockwise the idling is decreased. When the nut
is turned anti clockwise the idling is increased. Check that the rear wheel runs freely when the
brake is not activated. If the scooter does not brake correctly after adjustment, you must see your
authorized dealer.
