4. If remains of dirt or foreign material are present inside the hole (point 5), clean with a damp cloth.
WARNING! Do not use compressed air.
5. Use a flat-blade screwdriver (point 8) with tip (point 9) measuring 3mm MAX, 2 mm MIN; this measurement must be observed for a length of 12mm MIN.

8. Reposition the rubber cap (point 4) on the lever and rotate the lever-handlebar distance adjustment knob (point 6) until the lever is positioned (point 2) at the desired distance from the handlebar.
WARNING! Adjustment of the ration affects the lever travel in generating the pressure necessary to stop the vehicle.
Idle stroke adjustment
Only for RCS corsacorta master cylinder.
CAUTION! The “RCS corsacorta” master cylinder can be distinguished by the ”corsacorta” marking (point 10).
WARNING! Adjustment of the idle stroke to one of the three settings R-S-N via the knob (point 11) affects the lever stroke in generating the pressure necessary to stop the vehicle.
Functional test
WARNING! For all the adjustments described above, make sure that when the lever is engaged, it can rotate to generate the correct braking action; otherwise, operate the knob (point 6) to move the lever away.
