b. Turn the adjusting bolt “2” in direction “a” or
“b” until the specified brake pedal position
is obtained.
WARNING
EWA13070
After adjusting the brake pedal position,
check that the end of the adjusting bolt “c”
is visible through the hole “d”.
c. Tighten the locknut “1” to specification.
WARNING
EWA13050
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the brake
system. Before the vehicle is operated, the
air must be removed by bleeding the brake
system. Air in the brake system will consid-
erably reduce braking performance.
ECA13510
After adjusting the brake pedal position,
make sure there is no brake drag.

BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYS-
TEM
WARNING
EWA13100
Bleed the hydraulic brake system when-
ever:
• the system is disassembled.
• a brake hose is loosened, disconnected
or replaced.
• the brake fluid level is very low.
• brake operation is faulty.
TIP
• Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow
the brake fluid reservoir to overflow.
• When bleeding the hydraulic brake system,
make sure there is always enough brake fluid
before applying the brake. Ignoring this pre-
caution could allow air to enter the hydraulic
brake system, considerably lengthening the
bleeding procedure.
• If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to
let the brake fluid settle for a few hours.
Repeat the bleeding procedure when the tiny
bubbles in the hose have disappeared.
1. Bleed:
• Hydraulic brake system
