BRAKE CABLE ADJUSTMENT

WARNING!
Frequent and extended use of the service brake (6), especially on slopes, can cause a rapid wear of the pads.
Keep the braking system in maximum efficiency.
If the stroke of the brake pedal exceeds 1/3 of the total stroke
(A, Fig. 4) before starting to operate on the braking masses,
adjust the brake cable as shown:
1. Drive the machine on a level ground.
2. Turn the ignition key (61) to "0".
3. Ensure that the machine cannot move by placing opposite
wedges on the rear wheels.
4. Steer the front wheel to the right, about 90°, so that the
brake system becomes accessible.
5. Check braking masses (B, Fig. 5) for wear.
The thickness (C) of the pads must be 1 mm or more.
If necessary, contact a Service Center for braking masses
adjustment/replacement.
6. Loosen the locknut and the nut (D) to adjust the brake
cable.
7. Turn the nut until the gap between disc brake and braking
masses is 0.5 mm.
8. Tighten the locknut on the nut (D).
9. Remove the wedges from the rear wheels.
Check the proper adjustment of the brake cable by pushing the
machine manually (do not apply the brake).
Perform brake tests and check the proper operation of the
service and parking brake.
If the brake cable adjustment is no longer possible and the
braking system cannot be properly adjusted, contact a Service
Center.
CAUTION!
The service manual shows all braking system
check/adjustment and replacement procedures.
