affect the running wheels.

the running wheel when the brakes are not pressed and the
parking brake is still comfortable to operate.
• To adjust the brake to make it harder, unscrew the knurled--
screw (Fig. 8) on the braking mechanism and lock it with the
other nut.
• With the adjusting of the Bowden cable (M6), loosen the
locknut first.
• Next the threaded sleeve is adjusted until the correct adjust-
ment is found. To prevent the setting from changing, the
threaded sleeve (M6) must be locked with the nut (M6).
• To adjust the brake to make it softer, follow the above proce-
dure in reverse.
