Brake system

CAUTION
Check the working of the brakes to ensure
your safety. The condition of the brakes is
influenced by
contamination of the rear wheels and

operate in two modes: running brakes and
parking brakes.

using the running brakes. This may cause
damage to the tyres or brakes.
• To use the running brakes, pull both brake
levers (18) simultaneously [A] in a
squeezing motion. To
release the brake levers.
• To use the parking brakes, push both
brake levers (18) away from the handgrip
in locked position [B]. Always use both
parking brakes simultaneously. To end the
parking mode, pull both brake levers
simultaneously upwards.
