Brake lever (master cylinder) MAGURA HS 33 Congratulations! You have purchased a fully hydraulic MAGURA rim brake proudly „Made in Germany“. You will be amazed at the awesome braking power and the minimum amount of maintenance that is necessary on our stoppers.
PAGE 3
2. Before the first ride 1. Are you already familiar with hydraulic rim brakes? Our brakes might be much more powerful than the stoppers on which you relied so far. Take your bicycle to a safe area to learn the proper braking technique and operation of your new brakes and your bike. 2. Check that the front brake is still actuated by the lever on the side you are used to braking with.
PAGE 4
5. Release your brake lever and check whether your wheel moves freely and without drag. Check eventually whether the wheels are correctly mounted and if the quick release skewers are tightened sufficiently. 6. Are your tires in a good condition, and have they enough air pressure? Test this with your fingers. Lift up your bike and turn the wheels of your bike. An insufficient rotation might be due to damaged tires, broken axles and/or broken spokes. 7.

6. Brake Mounting 1. Tools for mounting (+maintenance) Allen key 2.5, 4* and 5 mm 8 mm open end wrench sharp knife (*delivered with the brake) Please insert the allen key completely to avoid damaging the bolts. 1c 1b 1a 5 6 7 4 3 2 6 8 1 1d Unpack your MAGURA brake and arrange all parts (The quantities mentioned here refer to after-market sales boxes including a complete brake set) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

2. The clamp side with the arrow points always to the top and is tightened fully. Hint: Tighten the brake lever so that you can still turn it by hand on the handlebar when you apply big forces. This old motocross trick will reduce crash damages. 3. Screw in the quick release bolt slightly into the left (frontwheel) resp. right (rearwheel) canti stud (seen in rotation direction). Please watch out for paragraph 12 on the following page! 4.

8. Side view of a correctly installed EVO 2 unit. There is mounted, if at all, only one washer underneath the mounting plate (arrow). 9. Push the slave cylinders towards the rim while adjusting them properly, i.e. parallel to the rim. Care for a correct adjustment of the the brake pads that have to be parallel to the rim! 10. Pull slightly the lever blade to push back the slave cylinders and tighten the bolts when you have a gap of 2mm between rim flanc and brake pads.

15. Brake pad wear adjustment The pads move towards the rim when you turn the TPA clockwise. 16. The function of the TPA The main sense of the TPA is to equalize the wear of the the brake pads. Many users use them instead to equalize an incorrectly installed brake (pads too far away from the rim, see paragraph 11 on page 8), with the consequence that the wear adjustment option cannot be fully used any longer.

7. Installation of FIRM-tech® models If you are the proud owner of a MAGURA suspension fork with FIRM-tech equipment, mounting the brakes is a breeze. Fit the fork and mount the brake lever to the handlebar as described. Fit the slave cylinders of the brake as shown on page 18 of this manual. 1. Check out the double quick release comfort! To open it push the quick release in direction of the wheel; you can now move the brake cylinder to change your wheel or the brake pads.

8. Shorten and routing the hose 2 If your frame is not equipped for routing hydraulic lines you can find in our accessory program the hose clips.... 3 ....and hose guides. 4 Unscrew the 8 mm barbed fitting at the slave cylinder. 5. Pull out the hose carefully. Never activate the lever blade with the system open! Hold the tubing carefully in order to avoid any loss of oil! Español Italiano Nederlands Français English Deutsch 1. 1Unsrew TPA fully as shown. 11 FELGEN 2011 E.
PAGE 11
6 Put the hose on on a hard surface and cut the end with the mounted M8 barbed fitting squarely with a sharp knife. The barbed fitting is replaced by the sleeve nut and the olive. The M8 barbed fitting is factory mounted only and has to be replaced by the sleeve nut and olive. Hold the hose carefully at the cutting point so that it cannot spring away! Cut squarely and on a hard surface to achieve a clean cut. Never use pliers or a saw! Dispose the cut hose.

9. Maintenance/ brake pad change MAGURA brakes do not need any special maintenance after correct installation. Regular bleeding is absolutely not necessary, because the MAGURA Blood mineral oil does not contract water like DOT brake liquid used in cars, on motorcycles and competitors’ products. Brake pad wear adjustment as shown above. When it is time to change the pads. Before changing the pads you must always screw back the TPA to their start position! 2 New (1) and worn (2) brake pad.
PAGE 13
10. Filling and bleeding The filling and bleeding of a MAGURA brake is not a routine work. This is due to the fact that the MAGURA Royal Blood hydraulic oil does not absorb water like DOT brake liquid in cars and on motorcycles. A filling and bleeding of a MAGURA is therefore only necessary in case of an incorrect installation or a tubing change after a crash. Only use MAGURA Royal Blood hydraulic oil, never DOT brake liquid! 1. The service kit contains everything you need for bleeding your MAGURA brake.
PAGE 14
8. Put the second syringe of the service kit WITHOUT PLUNGER into the open drill. Push oil from the brake caliper upwards until the oil column arrives in the syringe on the brake lever. You will see air bubbles now. Keep up pushing oil through the circuit until no further air bubbles can be seen. Use as far as possible the whole content of the syringe. Make finally snap the lever blade 2-4 times to get out last bubbles before closing the EBT drill. 9.
