Adjusting the control cable

ADJUSTING THE CONTROL CABLE

The handbrake must only be adjusted after the brake pads, control cable or brake caliper has been replaced as the recovery distance, which varies with wear, is automatic.

• Remove the leather trim from the handbrake lever.

1. With the handbrake cables disconnected from the rear calipers, depress the brake pedal at least ten times with force.
2. Attach the handbrake cables to the calipers.
3. Adjust the handbrake lever to the third detent on the sector gear.
4. Using a spanner tighten the adjustment nut until a braking force is applied to the rear wheels.

NOTE: With the lever in the rest position, check that the wheels rotate freely.
