sleeve and the bracket using a feeler
gauge. Compare the measured play with

3.21 CHECKING THE BRAKE COMPONENTS/BRAKE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
While operating the service brake, check
whether any leaks occur in the brake system.
If the brake system of a vehicle has been
charged to the maximum pressure, it should
generally be possible to drive the vehicle after a
period of 16 hours of uninterrupted standstill,
without having to first charge the brake system
to sufficient operating pressure.
This comes down to a maximum pressure drop
of approx. 0.4 bar per hour at a normal system
pressure.
Note:
Auxiliary consumers and accessories must
always be connected to circuit 4.
