2.1.4.6. Emergency brake

 Check and adjustment

PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. Lift a back part of the car and install it on support.
2. Lift the lever of the emergency brake on 6 clicks and check that both back wheels were blocked.
3. If adjustment is necessary, lift the lever of the emergency brake on 3 clicks and weaken an adjusting nut on the balance weight (it is specified by an arrow).
4. Turn a brake disk so that the opening in a disk was established over an adjusting nut on a brake guard. Having inserted the screw-driver into an opening, turn an adjusting nut so that brake shoes blocked a brake disk. Then turn off a nut so that the brake disk could rotate again. Execute the same operation on the second wheel.
5. Put the adjusting clamp on the balance weight so that blocks began to block a brake disk.
6. Check adjustment of the emergency brake.
