Information
- An FPB that is equipped with asbestos-free brake pads must never be adjusted in such a way that the pad has to grind free during operation!
- Adjustment must only be done at the two adjustment devices on the rear wheels. Do not make adjustments at the pedal module or at the Z deflector on the centre console.
- Ensure that the FPB cables are routed correctly.
Check free play at the pedal module:
To do this, measure from the left seat rail up to the lower edge of the pedal plate of the FPB.
- Depress pedal 40 mm (+ 5 mm). When this dimension is reached, the wheels must be able to turn without grinding the brake pads.
- Depress pedal 75 mm (+ 5 mm). When this dimension is reached, the wheels must be fixed. If the wheels can still turn, the FPB must be adjusted!
