Ÿ § INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE FREE PLAY§
INSPECTION: (Brake lever free play must checked with the engine shut off.)
Ÿ Brake lever and pedal free play for front and rear wheels.
◆If checking the hand-braking lever for front 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.
◆If checking the foot-braking pedal for rear wheels, its free play (the stroke of foot-braking pedal from
no braking to initial braking) should be 20~30mm. It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when press
the foot-braking pedal forcefully.
Adjustment:? Drum type?
Ÿ The indentation of brake adjustment nut must be aligned with the pin. (see below figure)
Ÿ Turn the adjustment nut on brake arm of front and rear wheels to adjust the free play of
hand-brake lever.
Ÿ Hold the hand-brake levers after adjusting with both hands until there is effective brake feeling.
Ÿ Measure the free play with a ruler.
CAUTION:
When free play is between 10~20 mm, check brake
indicators of front and rear wheels. If the arrow on
the brake arm aligned with the “? ” marked on the
brake disk, that means the brake lining has been
excessively worn, and must be replaced
immediately.
