HYDRAULIC DISC BRAKE
DANGER OF ACCIDENT!
• The maximum brake output is only achieved after a few brake processes
with a new brake disc or new brake linings!
DANGER
• The brake disc will grow very hot when braking and may cause burns. The
disc edges may also be very sharp and cause cutting injury. Therefore, do
not touch them while the disc is hot or turning.
• Use only mineral oil for the hydraulic brake system by Shimano and Tektro;
use only DOT4 or an equivalent brake fluid for any other kind. Otherwise,
there may be damage, malfunctions or even brake failure.
SETTING THE DISC BRAKE
Settings usually are not necessary at the hydraulic disc brake system. The brake linings centre in-
dependently by actuation of the brake levers.
REPLACING THE BRAKE LINING
DANGER OF ACCIDENT AND DAMAGE!
• Replace the brake linings when their thickness is less than 0.5 mm. The bra
ke output may otherwise drop to complete loss of the brake force and the
brake system may be damaged.
DANGER
1. Loosen the two clamp screws
wrench.
2. Take the brake calliper off from the brake disc.
3. Straighten the curved end of the safety pin
4. Pull out the safety pin
into the holder until they latch.
