6.2 Overrun brake mechanism
This brake system is not available in all countries.
The brake linings must first adjust to the brake drum, which will result in differing
temperatures. This can create some play in the brakes.
The overrun brake must then be adjusted.
Check the brake lining regularly (every 200 operating hours) and adjust if necessary.
Check the braking effect of the overrun brake mechanism before setting off.
The default setting is preset in the factory.
The default setting must only be restored when replacing drawbars or parts of the
support bearing group.

(B).
-
Fully release the tensioner (A).
-
Turn the adjusting screw (C) clockwise until the wheel does not turn in the direction of travel.
-
Turn the adjusting screw (C) back until no more braking effect can be felt when the wheel is
turned forward.
-
Perform these steps for all braked wheels.
-
Tighten the turnbuckle (A) until no more play exists in transfer direction and the wheel can turn
freely.
