-25-Rear-wheel braking is achieved through a foot-operated lever anda 220mm-diameter disk brake. It is very important that the fluid-pump piston push rod has some play with the piston, as otherwisean excessively hot fluid would cause it to expand and might blockthe wheel, with serious consequences for the user.PUMP AND BRAKE PADSMake sure that both brakes have the right amount of brake fluid,and refill if required. Replace any worn brake pads on the hydraulicclips.Below this level, they still work correctly. However, besides the riskof defective braking, when this is required, the braking surface ofthe disk might also be seriously damaged. Remember that theseoperations should always be carried out by a specialised garage.Minimum pad thickness: 2mmSTEERINGThe steering of a properly tuned up moped must turn easily; therefore,if the steering feels hard or works erratically, this may be due toeither excessive tightening or defective condition of the ball race orof the ball-bearing balls. Should the latter be the cause of the problem,disassemble and replace the ball races and the steel balls. Rememberthat the steering should always turn smoothly and must never haveany play.TYRE PRESSUREThe EC Rookie features two wheels of different sizes and pressures:Front wheel: 80 x 90 x 21"With 1 passenger: 1 BarWith 2 passengers: 1,5 BarRear wheel: 110 x 80 x 18"With 1 passenger: 1,2 BarWith 2 passengers: 1,7 Bar(A).
