Case 2: Brakes pull unequally

Basic adjustment

First check that all brake cables with their end caps are properly located in the relevant hole of the adjusting screws. If necessary do the same for the adjusting screw on the brake lever (the one that you are not to adjust). (See illustration in the preceding section).

1.Prop up the carrier so that the wheels turn freely.

2.Start by adjusting one of the wheels.

3.Use a 8 mm wrench to loosen the lock nut of the adjusting screw G2 on the brake backplate of the drum brake.

4.Set the wheel turning very slowly.

5.Unscrew the adjusting screw G2 (anti-clockwise) until there is light braking of the wheel without having to operate the brake lever.

6.Screw the adjusting screw G2 back in for one full turn (clockwise).

7.Using a 8 mm wrench, tighten the lock nut, but without moving the adjusting screw.

Fine adjusting

With a loaded carrier, check that the breaks now work with equal force and the carrier does not pull to one side on braking.

If the brakes still pull to one side, readjust on the side that the

carrier pulls to when the brake is applied:

1.Use a 8 mm wrench to loosen the lock nut of the adjusting screw G2/G3 on the brake backplate of the drum brake.

2.Screw the adjusting screw in one half turn (clockwise).

3.Check again to see if braking force is equal.

4.Repeat the procedure until equal braking has been achieved.

5.Using a 8 mm wrench, tighten the lock nut, but without moving the adjusting screw.

6.Check that the parking brake works properly. With the locking pushbutton pushed in, check that the carrier does not roll away and that it comes to a stop again immediately it is released.

DANGER

Please note: Adjusting screws G2 and G3 must not be fully unscrewed from the brake backplate. Make sure that they extend through the brake backplate with at least 2 mm protruding on the opposite side.

If this is not the case, there is a risk that the screw will shear with potential sudden loss of braking force as a result.

DANGER

Always make sure that the lock nuts are tightly fastened.

If you cannot obtain satisfactory adjustment, please consult your Authorized Chariot Retailer.

 

Wear limit of the brake pads in the drum brake

 

The brake pads on your Chariot CX are designed to have a

 

long life, but will wear over time. With frequent use their wear

 

limit can eventually be reached. This requires replacement of

 

the brake pads, which is something that your Authorized Chariot

 

Retailer will carry out.

 

The wear limit is reached when

 

• No further readjustment is possible because the adjusting

 

screws are unscrewed to their maximum as described above,

Front view

or

 

• on release, the brake lever no longer springs back to its

 

released position, or

 

• after releasing the brake lever, the wheels do not move

 

freely, in spite of the basic adjustment being correct.

Proceed in exactly the same way for the wheel on the other side.
