3.2 Brakes
For the momo therapy bicycle. there are dierent brakes available,
depending on the individual requirements of the user.
3.2.1 Parking brake
The parking brake supports the user
when getting on and o and also
secures the therapy bicycle against
unintentional rolling away. To activate
the parking brake, press the lever (A)
on the handlebar stem (B) downwards.
To release the parking brake, push the
lever up again.
Always ensure that the brake or the brake
blocks function correctly and have been
adjusted (see below).
Adjustment of the parking brake or brake blocks
Ensure that the braking function immediately takes eect on actuation of
the parking brake lever, taking the necessary backlash into account.
Due to "settling" of the Bowden
cables and the natural wear on the
brake blocks, it is necessary to reset
the brake or replace the brake blocks
after a certain amount of time.
Each gap between the rim and the
brake lining should not be larger than
1.5 mm. To do this, loosen the clam-
ping screw (C), press the brake blocks
together by hand, pull the Bowden
cable taut ant then re-tighten the clamping screw. If the brake blocks
are not accurately aligned with the rim edge (D), you must readjust them
accordingly. In order to change the alignment of the brake blocks, loosen
the screws (E). Leave this work to your specialist dealer in case of any un-
certainty.
After each adjustment of the cantilever (V) brake, carry out a brake test. The bra-
ke blocks may only be replaced by ones in an identical design. Observe the ma-
nufacture name or marking and the type designation. New brake blocks do not
achieve the required braking effect until they have been used multiple times.
