6.1 Checking the brakes
Carry out the following instructions for the front wheel brake and the rear wheel brake;
1.
Check that all the screws in the braking system are firmly screwed.
2.
Check whether the brake lever is torque-proof against the handlebar.
3.
Check whether there is still at least 1 cm/0.4" of clearance between the brake lever and the handle when
the brake lever is fully deployed. If the clearance is less than 1 cm/0.4", have the brake system checked
by a Carqon dealer.
4.
Check the extent of the wear to the brake pads. Ask a Carqon dealer to explain how you can check
for wear.
5.
Check by gently moving the brake disc back and forth whether or not the brake disc sits on the front or
rear wheel and is backlash-free.
6.
Check whether the front wheel or rear wheel is blocked when the brake is deployed.
If you discover loose screw connections, have the screw connections tightened by a Carqon dealer.
6.2 Brake lever assignment
The brake levers are assigned as follows in the basic configuration;
•
The right-hand brake lever operates the rear wheel brake.
•
The left-hand brake lever operates the front wheel brake.
Acquaint yourself with the brake lever assignment before starting a journey. Get in touch with a Carqon dealer
if you wish to change the brake lever assignment.
6.3 Disc brakes
When pulling the brake lever, the brake pistons (which are located in the brake callipers (2) of the disc brakes)
will be pushed outwards. The brake pistons will press the brake pads against the brake discs (3)
Check the disc brakes regularly for wear and functionality. And clear the breaks afterwards.
●
Remove any soiling to the components of the disc brakes and the brake disc immediately with a lightly
●
moistened towel.
Clean the brake discs regularly with brake cleaning fluid or warm water.
●
Using the disc brakes causes wear to the brake pads and brake discs. With hydraulic disc brakes, the brake
liquid in the hydraulic lines (1) is also subject to wear.
Ask a Carqon dealer for an inspection to check the wear of the brake pads. Carry out the following for the
front wheel and rear wheel brake;
1.
Check whether the brake pads move back and forth evenly and symmetrically in the direction of the
brake disc, when the brake lever is pulled and released. When you are able to move the brake disc of the
brake pads or if they move unevenly, have the brakes checked by a Carqon dealer.
2.
Pull the brake lever and check whether brake fluid is emitted from the lines, connections or the brake
pads. If brake fluid is emitted, do not use the flatbed. Have the brakes checked by a Carqon dealer.
