ADJUSTING THE CONTROL CABLES

The handbrake should be adjusted only after changing the brake pads, or the control cables, or the brake caliper, as wear takeup is automatic.

• Disconnect the handbrake cables from the brake calipers and pump the brake pedal forcefully at least ten times.
• Reconnect the handbrake cables to the calipers.
• Move the handbrake lever to the third position on the toothed sector and tighten the adjustment nut until the rear wheels are braked.

With the lever in the rest position, check that the wheels turn freely.
