INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE FREE PLAY
INSPECTION: (Brake lever free play must be checked with the engine shut off.)
! Brake lever free play for front and rear wheels.
! When checking the hand-braking lever for front and rear wheels, its free play (the stroke of hand-braking
lever from no braking to initial braking) should be 10~20mm.
! It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when holding the hand-braking lever forcefully.
! Never attempt to adjust brakes unless you know what you are doing. Otherwise, have a properly trained
mechanic adjust brakes. Never operate the scooter if effective braking is questionable.
ADJUSTMENT:﹙Rear wheel drum type﹚
! The indentation of brake adjustment nut must be aligned with the pin. (see below figure)
! Turn the adjustment nut on brake arm of front
and rear wheels to adjust the free play of
hand-brake lever.
! Hold the hand-brake levers after adjusting with
both hands until there is effective brake
feeling.
! Measure the free play with a rule.
CAUTION:
! Adjust the brake lever “Free Play” when the “Free
Play” is between 10~20 mm. Check to brake
indicators on both the front and rear wheels. If
the arrow on the brake arm is aligned with the “△”
mark on the brake panel, the brake lining has been
excessively warn and must be replaced
immediately.
