Brake lever and pedal free play for front and rear wheels.

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

When free play is between 10~20 mm, check brake
indicators of front and rear wheels. If the arrow on the brake

means the brake lining has been excessively worn, and must
be replaced immediately.
