4 Adjustments

Figure 4.7

❷ If the gap between the brake pad and wheel is uneven,

adjust the posion of the brake pad.

• Using a phillips head screwdriver, adjust the brake arm

screws on either side of the brake arm. Note: Turning the

screw clockwise moves the pad away from the rim.

Turning the screw counterclockwise moves the pad

towards the rim. Figure 4.7

• Start with the side where the pad is closest to the rim or

is not moving properly. Turn the screw to move the pad

towards or away from the rim.

• Adjustments to these screws should be made in small

increments, one-quarter to one-half turn then checked

by acvang the brake lever three to four mes aer

each adjustment. If you connue to adjust the screw unl

you have noceable movement you will run out of

adjustment.

❸ Pull and release the brake lever a few mes and check if the

pads are centered.

❹ If necessary, repeat steps one through three unl the brake

pads are centered and the gap between the pads and rim is

close to 1/8 inch.

Note: If you run out of adjustment capability on one side,

adjust the screw on the opposite side. If you run out of

adjustment capability on both screws do a minor

adjustment to the brake cable. Adjustments should be made

to each side as equally as possible to prevent running out of

adjustment capability.
