brake cable.
All brakes need periodic adjustment.
However, the brake mechanism itself
should be adjusted only by a qualified
service technician. If or when it needs
service, take your scooter to your
local bicycle dealer or to the retailer
who sold you the scooter.
Improper adjustment of your brake(s)
can cause poor braking and lead to an
accident, serious rider injury or death.
bRAkE CAbLE ADjUSTMENT
If your brake cable stretches (as is common with new cables do during the
initial “breaking-in” period), your brake lever will require a longer “pull” to
engage the brake and may even touch the handlebar when squeezed.
Use the adjusting barrel on the brake lever to adjust for this cable stretch.
Loosen the adjusting barrel lock nut. Unscrew the adjusting barrel out of the
lever 1 to 2 turns, then re-tighten the lock nut to secure the adjusting barrel.
Do not allow the adjusting barrel to unscrew more than
5 full rotations out of the brake lever.
Always test your
brakes after making any adjustment to be
sure they are operating properly before
riding.
If you reach the limit of the cable
adjustments described above and you
are still experiencing poor braking
performance, do not continue to ride. Do
not attempt to adjust the cable any further or attempt to adjust the brake.
Take your scooter to a qualified scooter or bicycle mechanic for proper
service, or call Currie Technologies
