The front brake, operated by the integral braking system, is a legal requirement. Unlike a motorcycle,
80 % of braking loads are transmitted to the rear wheels, even at high speeds. Nevertheless, you should
regularly check the front brake for wear, and the brake lines for any leakages.
Caution: The braking system should be maintained and repaired by specialist dealers only.

CAUTION:
The vehicle must begin to slow down after the brake pedal has been depressed about
one third of the way. Your specialist dealer will check for brake pad wear. If he fits new
brake pads, and before you ride the vehicle, you should actuate the brake lever several
times to ensure that the brake pistons return to their proper positions and so that
brake lever travel readjusts itself.
Wear to the brake pads and the discs is compensated by the
system and has no effect on braking performance. Therefore as a
rule no adjustment to the brakes will be required.
If resistance at the brake lever is spongy, then in all likelihood air
has entered the brake lines. Since the brakes are of major
importance to the overall safety of the trike, we urgently
recommend that you contact a specialist dealer immediately to
have him carry out the necessary checks.
To adjust the brake pedal, remove the cotter pin 1 and
undo the nut 2 securing it (arrow). Now the pedal can be
adjusted. Undo the nut on the footrest mounting and
remove the screws. Now the footrest mounting can be
adjusted.
Consider that sufficient ground clearance is given!
