ADJUSTINGTHE BRAKE

The brake should engage when the pedal

arm	is pressed	down	to within	a	maximum	of
1-5/16-inches		and a	minimum	of	3/4-inch	dis-
tance above the top of the left foot support,
which	serves	as the	pedal stop.		See Illust.	23.

It may be possible to push the pedal all the way down to the pedal stop, but this is of no

concern as long as the brake is engaged when

the pedal arm is at least 3/4-inch above the

pedal	stop.
To	adjust		the	brake,		loosen the jam nut "B"
and turn		the brake		lever			adjusting		screw		"G"
(1IIust.	23A) in		or out as		required			to get		this
measurement.			The		brake		must	not		engage
before		the	pedal	arm	is		within	the	maximum
distance		of	1-5/16-inches				above	the		pedal	stop.

all

the way down and release.

The

direc-

tion,

loosen

"D"

and

turn

the

connect-

ing

rod

"E"

counterclockwise

to
