The hand brake is set to hold a 50-pound load on a 25% grade. If you find
your manual brake is not holding, first check the tire pressure on the front
tire to make sure it is at 30 PSI. If the tire pressure is correct and the brake
is not holding, you may need to tighten the brake cable. To tighten, set the
brake lever to the down position, remove slack from the cable by turning
the cable adjustment bolt (item 8) counter-clockwise, then setting the nut to
hold it in place.
If all of the slack is already pulled out of the cable (the cable adjustment
bolt is turned as far counterclockwise as possible) loosen the nut on the
cable clamp bolt, turn the cable adjustment bolt clockwise until all threads
are all the way in, press the brake cam against the tire, pull all the slack out
of the cable and tighten the cable clamp bolt. You should now have
sufficient adjustment in the cable adjustment bolt/nut to properly set the
brake.
