  • Patent number: 8485304
    Abstract: The present invention provides a brake operation structure capable of realizing facilitation of adjustment work of a brake operation mechanism for operating a brake mechanism based on manual operation. The brake operation structure includes a brake operation mechanism that rotates a brake pressing member of the brake mechanism about a rotational axis line into a brake actuation direction in accordance with manual operation, and a brake adjustment mechanism that adjusts an initial position of the brake pressing member around the rotational axis line at a time when the brake operation mechanism is not in operation. The brake adjustment mechanism is inserted in the brake operation mechanism at a position allowing the brake adjustment mechanism to be accessed from above a fender trough an opening that is provided at the fender for allowing a driver's seat support frame to be mounted.
