INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT OF BRAKE FREE PLAY
INSPECTION: (Brake lever and pedal free play must be checked with the engine shut off.)

holding the hand-braking lever forcefully.
When checking the foot-braking pedal for rear wheels, its free play (the stroke of foot-braking pedal
from no braking to initial braking) should be 20~30mm. It is abnormal if the feel is spongy when press
the foot-braking pedal forcefully.
