6.5 Adjusting the brake force for rear wheel with drum brake
The brake force is adjusted at the adjustment screw to achieve optimal braking effect. The brake
force is increased by turning the screw counter-clockwise and decreased by turning the screw
clockwise.
INFORMATION!
Turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise until frictional noise occurs at the tur-
ning wheel. Then tighten the adjustment screw until the frictional noise disappears.
The wheel should run freely.
After finishing the adjustment, fasten the adjustment screw by tightening the counter nut.
INFORMATION!
Ensure that the brake force of both rear wheels is adjusted equally.
Also make sure that the drum brake engages with sufficient force only when the
manual brake lever is set to the second ratchet position.
6.6 Adjusting the angle of the footplate (Fig. 28)
INFORMATION!
Prior to adjusting the footplate angle, loosen the screw connections A as indicated
in the figure.
Then set the footplate to the desired angles and tighten the loosened screw connec-
tions with a torque of 6 Nm.
