If the disc brakes are new or if the brake pads or the brake discs have been renewed, the disc brakes need to
be applied. For this, note the manufacturer's instructions or ask a Carqon dealer. If the effect of the disc brakes
is insufficient after applying them or if you hear unusual sounds while braking, have the disc brakes checked
by a Carqon dealer.
6.3.1 Using the disc brakes
The rear wheel lock reacts faster than the front wheel lock, when the same braking force is applied. Depending
on the model, your cargo bike is equipped with different brake types on the front wheel and on the rear wheel.
In order to brake, pull the brake lever with your fingers in the direction of the handlebar.
●
Regulate the braking effect by using different force levels on the brake lever.
●
In order to loosen the disc brake, release the brake lever. Over a short braking distance, brake evenly with
●
both brakes.
6.4 Adjusting the disc brakes
If brakes are not installed professionally, the brake performance may reduce or the brakes may fail. Let the
brakes only be set up by a Carqon dealer and have the brake adjustment explained to you by a Carqon dealer.
6.4.1 Replacing the brake pads
Incorrect or incorrectly installed brake pads may lead to malfunction, therefore the disc brakes may not work.
Only use original brake pads for disc brakes.
●
When purchasing brake pads, always seek professional advice.
●
Check every now and then whether the brake pads are worn.
●
Have the brake pads replaced by a Carqon dealer.
