3.5.8 Service and Parking Brake Adjustment
If you are not sufficiently manually skilled, have the operations done by an authorized service centre.
Functionality check:
1. Switch the bypass lever to the manual regime of the travel – see chapter 3.4.2.1 Switching between the Manual and
Motorized Travel.
2. Press the brake lever towards the handle until it is stopped by the handle and try to manually move the machine.
3. If it is possible to move the machine, it is necessary to adjust the brake.
The tension of the Bowden is adjusted with the expansion adjustment fitting by the lower end of the Bowden.
1. Loosen the both nuts – spanner No. 10. Caution – the nut by the notch has got left-oriented thread so it must be loosened in
the clockwise direction.
2. Turn the middle part of the expansion fitting by about one turn in the clockwise direction, which tightens the brake cable.
3. Without pressing the brake lever, test whether it is possible to easily move the machine. Press and lock the brake lever and try to
move the machine again. If it is not possible to move the machine, the brake works well again.
4. Tighten the both nuts. Caution – the nut by the notch has got left-oriented thread so it must be tightened in the counter-
clockwise direction.
3.5.9 Checking tightening of screwed connections
Besides the other screwed connections, regularly check that handlebars joint nuts are tightened – see
Fig. 3

. There should
not be any vertical clearance on the joint. The side adjustment of the handlebars should not be easy in terms of the force needed to
perform the action. Use the ring spanner or the socket 17 mm.
