Drum Brake System – ETR200/ETR300/ETR400/ETR500HT
To adjust the clearance on the front brake:
1. Locate the cable wire and nut connected to the front wheel.
2. Turn the nut clockwise to tighten the clearance or counterclockwise to loosen the
clearance.
When properly adjusted, the front wheel should turn without any resistance, and the right hand
brake should effectively engage the front brake.

REAR BRAKE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
It is essential that the rear brake system that is engaged by squeezing the left brake handle, be properly
adjusted to allow for adequate clearance while the Pushpak is traveling, but still allow for effective braking.
This system is either drum or disc brakes depending on your Pushpak model. Follow the appropriate
inspection and adjustments applicable to your Pushpak's rear braking system.
a. Drum Brake System – ETR100
The rear brakes should have a brake pedal free stroke of 10-20 mm. If the brake pedal free stroke is
too light, braking power will be impaired. If the brake pedal free stroke is too heavy, this may lead to
impaired driving and accelerated wear of the brake shoes. If upon inspection, adjustment is needed,
take the following steps for both rear brakes:
1. Loosen the rear brake lever lock nut.
2. Turn the rear brake to adjust the nut.
i. Turn the nut clockwise to reduce the free stroke clearance.
ii. Turn the nut counterclockwise to increase the free stroke clearance.
3. Tighten the nut once the desired free stroke clearance is achieved.
