OPERATION
Braking
Weared lining information is shown on the
display. On which axle the brakes shall be
replaced can be seen on the display. Linings
of both left and right brakes on the relevant
axle shall be replaced at the same time.
An indicator lever is available on the brake
to allow monitoring of the lining thickness
besides the percentage indication on the
display. Linings shall be replaced when the
indicator lever is fully worn. As the service life
of the lining shall differ greatly due to causes
such as vehicle load, operating conditions
etc., monitor the lining thickness periodically
from the display or check it every month with
the indicator lever on the brakes when it is not
possible to monitor it from the display.
