Adjust hydraulic brakes after 200 miles (320 km).
1. Use a jack and suitable jack stands to raise wheels so that wheels can be rotated by hand.
2. Rotate wheel forward by hand to reposition free backing primary brake shoe.
3. Remove adjusting plug from backing plate at
wheel.
4. Use a slender screwdriver or similar tool to
push the adjuster screw spring (1) away from
the adjuster assembly.
5. At the same time, use a brake adjusting tool to
tighten adjuster assembly (2). Adjust until
brake linings become tight enough that wheel
cannot be turned by hand, then back off 11
clicks for brakes that have not been used, and
15 clicks for brakes already burnished in.
6. Rotate wheel forward by hand. Wheel should
rotate freely.
7. Replace adjusting plug in backing plate.
8. Repeat adjustment procedure at each wheel. To ensure even braking, make sure that all wheels have
approximately the same amount of drag.
Crushing weight could cause death or serious injury. Stay
