FRONT BRAKE

The front brakes should be adjusted so that when
you squeeze the front brake lever:
1. The brake lever play measured at the lever end is
30 mm (1.2 in).
2. The brake cable holder A is in the straight up
position as shown in the photograph.
Front brake lever play: 30 mm (1.2 in)
Check the front brakes for proper operation.
If necessary, adjust the front brakes as follows:
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface. Lift the front
end of the vehicle and place a solid object, such as
a wooden block, securely under the frame.
2. Loosen the lock nuts B and turn the upper and
lower cable adjusters C equally until the brake
lever play measured at the lever end is 30 mm (1.2
in) when the lever is squeezed. Make sure that at
least 5 mm (0.2 in) of the adjuster threads are
inserted in the lever holder D, as shown in the
photograph. Tighten the lock nut B.
3. Turn the upper or lower cable adjuster so that
when the brake lever is squeezed, the cable
holder is in the straight up position. This adjust-
ment is important for smooth braking, and to help
prevent uneven wear of the brake shoes on the left
and right wheels. Check the brake lever play
again, and repeat step (2), if necessary.
4. Release the front brake lever and turn the front
wheels by hand to make sure the brakes don't
drag. If either brake drags, the brake lever play
should be increases slightly. Repeat steps (2) and
(3).
