Releasing the parking brake
Ensure that the bowden cable is not lying on or rubbing against other
vehicle parts.
When the parking brake is off, the bowden cable must hang slightly
slack.
Rotate the crank anticlockwise until the bowden cable becomes slack.
→ The parking brake is off.
Applying the parking brake
Correct the adjustment of the parking brake if the spindle's tensioning
travel is no longer sufficient.
Rotate the crank clockwise and apply the parking brake using the
bowden cable (the application force of the parking brake is around
40 kg manual force).
