The brakes on your Azteca have been
carefully adjusted by a qualified factory
technician before delivery.
However, it is normal for brakes to wear over
time and their power will fade as the brake
pad material becomes worn. Because of
this, for your safety it is necessary to check
your brakes before each ride and adjust
them if needed.
The brake pads should be replaced by a
qualified technician when their material
thickness has reached 1 mm or less, or
if they have been contaminated by oil or
grease!
Checking brake function
Firmly pull the brakes levers. There should
be a gap of at least 1 cm between the grip
and the lever and the trike should not move
when pushed backward or forward.
If this is not the case do not use your
Azteca before resolving the issue! Begin
with basic cable tension and brake pad
position adjustments.
Do not attempt to adjust the brakes by
yourself if you don’t fully understand
this section or if you are not confident
in your mechanical skills. We strongly
recommend that you only have
your brakes adjusted by a qualified
technician. Poorly adjusted brakes can
lead to a loss of control and result in
serious injuries.
