Adjusting handbrake
  Note
t  The rear brakes are self-adjusting, so the handbrake does not require adjustment in normal operation. Re-adjustment is only necessary after renewing handbrake cables, brake calipers, brake pads or brake discs.
t  The footbrake system must be bled and must be functioning properly.
t  Handbrake lever, handbrake cables and brackets must be fully installed.
   
–  Adjust lever position at brake calipers using feeler gauges to ensure that A = 1.5 mm.
