brake lever)
a. While pushing the brake lever forward,
turn the adjusting dial (1) until the brake
lever is in the desired position.
Be sure to align the setting on the adjusting

ver holder.

After adjusting the brake lever position,
make sure that the pin on the brake lever
holder is firmly inserted in the hole in the
adjusting dial.
After adjusting the brake lever position,
make sure that there is no brake drag.
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake le-
ver can indicate the presence of air in the
brake system. Before the vehicle is oper-
ated, the air must be removed by bleed-
ing the brake system.
Air in the brake system will considerably
reduce braking performance and could
result in loss of control and possibly an
accident. Therefore, check the brake
system and bleed if necessary.
