Checking the brake pedal height
Check that the distance from the floor mat to the center of the top surface of the pedal seat is correct.
Pedal Height (control value)
Adjusting the height of the brake pedal
Loosen the lock nut B and turn the bolt all the way to the pedal.
Loosen lock nut D and turn pin C to adjust the height.
Tighten locknut B.
Tightening torque: 9.8 - 14.7 Nm.
Pic. 6.15. Checking the brake pedal height
After adjustment, check pedal clearance and brake signal operation (pic. 6.15).
Checking the brake pedal clearance
Depress the pedal several times to eliminate the vacuum in the system.
Remove the spring pin, make sure the holes in the fork and the pedal line up, and reinstall the pin.
Gently depress the pedal by hand until resistance appears and check the clearance.
Pedal clearance: 0-3 mm.
Adjustment of a backlash of a pedal of a brake
Remove spring pin and capped pin with cotter pin.
Pic. 6.16. Adjustment of a backlash of a pedal of a brake
Loosen lock nut D and turn pin C until the holes in the fork and pedal line up (pic. 6.16).
Install the head pin with cotter pin hole and spring pin.
Tighten locknut D.
Tightening torque: 15.7 - 21.6 Nm.
Check pedal height and brake signal operation.
Pedal-to-floor clearance check
Start the engine and depress the brake pedal with a force of 588 N.
Pic. 6.17. Pedal-to-floor clearance check
Check that the distance from the floor panel to the center of the pedal support pad is correct when the pedal is depressed (pic. 6.17).
If the distance is less than normal, check the absence of air in the brake system.
The clearance is at least 68 mm.
