Rear wheel brake
Checking the brake linings
CAUTION
The thickness of the brake lining may
not be lower than the minimum value.
Operate the handbrake lever (1) and vi-
sually inspect it.
Check the thickness of the lining:
The extension of the wear indicator
(3) at the brake lever must be in front
of the minimum mark of the scale (4)
when the rear brake is depressed.
If the thickness of the lining has fallen
below the minimum, have a specialised
Sachs dealer replace it.
Adjusting the rear wheel brake
CAUTION
For your own safety, we recommend hav-
ing activities to the brake system carried
out by a Sachs deal er.
NOTE
After a longer period of operation, adjustment
of the brakes is essential due to natural
wear of the brake-shoe linings.
Checking
- An external sign of the brakes needing
adjustment is the constantly increasing
free travel (A) of the handbrake lever (1)
10-20 mm.
Adjusting
- Screw the nut (2) on the rear-wheel brake
onto the brake rod until the handbrake
lever reach a free travel of 10-20 mm.
- After this measurement is attained, the
brake shoes should be heard brushing
against the brake drum.
CAUTION
Have a Sachs dealer check the
adjustment.
