Changing the brake pads

Workshop work
Criterion for changing the brake pads:
•
Minimum pad thickness of 5 mm was
reached.
•
Wear edge (2) was reached.
Adjustment on the slack adjuster (workshop work)
Manually actuate the slack adjuster in the push
direction. If the free travel of the long-stroke dia-
phragm cylinder pressure rod is max. 35 mm, the
wheel brake must be readjusted.
The setting is carried out on the hexagonal ad-
justing screw of the slack adjuster. Set the free
travel "a" to 10-12 % of the connected brake
lever length "B",
e.g. lever length 150 mm = free travel 15 - 18
mm.
Checking the function of the automatic slack adjuster
1. Secure the machine against rolling away
and release the service brake and parking
brake.
2. Manually actuate the slack adjuster.
The free travel (a) may not exceed 10- 15% of
the connected brake lever length (B) (e.g. brake
lever length 150 mm = free travel 15 – 22 mm).
Readjust the slack adjuster if the free travel is
outside of the tolerance.
