Various brakes are available for the
momo motion.
depending on the indi-
vidual requirements of the user.
4.2.1 Parking brake
The parking brake supports the use when
climbing on and off the tricycle and secures
it against inadvertently rolling away. To ac-
tivate the parking brake, press the lever (
A
)
on the handlebar stem (
B
) downwards. To
release the parking brake, push the lever up
again.
Always ensure that the brake or the brake blocks
function correctly and have been adjusted (see
below).
Adjustment of the parking brake or brake blocks
Ensure that the braking function immediately takes effect on actuation of
the parking brake lever, taking the necessary
backlash into account.
Due to "settling" of the Bowden cables and
the natural wear on the brake blocks, it is
necessary to reset the brake or replace the
brake blocks after a certain amount of time.
Each gap between the rim and the brake
lining should not be larger than 1.5 mm. To
do this, loosen the clamping screw (
C
), press
the brake blocks together by hand, pull the
Bowden cable taut and then re-tighten the
clamping screw. If the brake blocks are not accurately aligned with the
rim edge (
D
), you must readjust them accordingly. In order to change the
alignment of the brake blocks, loosen the screws (
E
). Leave this work to your
specialist dealer in case of any uncertainty.
After each adjustment of the cantilever (V) brake, carry out a brake test. The bra-
ke blocks may only be replaced by ones in an identical design. Observe the ma-
nufacture name or marking and the type designation. New brake blocks do not
achieve the required braking effect until they have been used multiple times.
