WARNING!
In rain or damp weather, braking distances are longer. It is
recommended to anticipate braking in this situation. There is a
risk of burning yourself if you touch the brakes after prolonged or
intensive use. The brakes may become hot during use. Do not
touch them after using your scooter.
When turning and braking, the handlebar can have a negative
•
influence on the response time of the rider.
1. Mechanical disc brake adjustment
The pads exert pressure on a disc attached to the wheel hub.
•
The intensity of the pressure is controlled by a lever connected
to the brake by a cable. Do not operate the brake lever when the
wheel is detached from the frame or the fork.
If the brake is too tight or too loose, it is necessary to adjust the
•
brake cable to align the caliper with the brake disc.
Contact the after-sales service if your scooter's disc brake
•
system requires any other adjustments. Do not make any
adjustments yourself, as this may damage your scooter and void
its warranty.
To align the mechanical disc brake caliper, loosen the fixing
•
screws of the brake caliper support. Brake with the
corresponding brake lever (the brake caliper is positioned
correctly) and hold the brake lever in this position while tightening
the caliper bracket fixing screws.
Check that the internal pad (inside the wheel) is at 0.2 - 0.4 mm
•
from the disc. If this is not enough, tighten the pad positioning
screw until a gap of 0.2 - 0.4 mm gap between the insert and the
disc is reached.
To adjust the external pad (outside the wheel), simply modify the
•
tension of the brake cable in order to obtain a gap of 0.2 - 0.4
mm at the caliper or at the brake lever.
Never spray oil or any lubricant on the disc or pads. If this
•
happens, remove the grease from the pads and disc, or change
them.
