Brake Master Cylinder: Adjustments




Adjusting the brake pushrod
The brake pedal has no stop. Since, when the brake pushrod is correctly set, the brake pedal has no support possibility in its original position, the permanently set free play in the brake unit is guaranteed. As a result a pushrod play of approximately 1 mm is noticeable by manual actuation on the pedal plate of the brake pedal.





Adjusting the pushrod length changes the position of the brake pedal. To do this, undo the lock nut and turn the pushrod accordingly at the hexagon (arrow).





The brake pushrod is correctly set if the dimension X is 45 + 5 mm. Perform measurement between the center of the brake pedal plate and the accelerator.

Note: Check adjustment of the brake light switch if brake pushrod is adjusted.
