The "Burton" functionality you're referring to on the brake pedal is likely for adjusting the brake cables. EZGO brake systems rely on mechanical adjustments for proper brake function and pedal feel. This type of brake system requires periodic adjustments to maintain optimal performance and functionality.

The primary adjustment involves tightening or loosening the cables. If the cables are too loose, the brakes may not engage fully, leading to decreased braking efficiency and longer stopping distances. Conversely, if the cables are too tight, the brakes might drag even when the pedal is not pressed, causing premature wear and potential overheating of the brake components. Adjusting the brake cables also affects the amount of free play in the brake pedal. Free play is the amount of pedal travel before the brakes start to engage. Too much free play can make the brakes feel unresponsive, while too little can cause constant brake engagement.

Another adjustment that can be made is that both rear brakes engage evenly. This is important for maintaining balanced braking performance and preventing the cart from pulling to one side when the brakes are applied. Uneven braking can lead to unsafe driving conditions and uneven wear on the brake components. See attached pic for reference, if you have any questions feel free to ask!
