Changing the basic position of the foot brake pedal *
The basic position of the foot brake pedal can be altered by turning the stop
roller
1. The free play at the foot brake pedal must then be adjusted by
means of the piston rod
2.
Measured on the outside, the foot brake pedal must have 3-5 mm
(0.12–0.20 in) of free play, before the piston rod can move the piston in the
brake cylinder (to be recognised from the resistance on the foot
brake pedal).
NOTE: To prevent the stop roller from turning when tightening, counteract
by inserting a hexagon socket wrench in hole
B provided for this purpose.
!
CAUTION
!
IF THIS FREE PLAY IS NOT PRESENT
, THEN PRESSURE CAN BUILD UP IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM
WHEN DRIVING
, CAUSING CONSTANT FRICTION OF THE BRAKE PADS.THE BRAKING SYSTEM
OVERHEATS AND CAN FAIL COMPLETELY IN EXTREME CASES
