Vehicle combination brake balancing
Vehicle combination brake balancing is
part of appropriate use.
Even when there is only 1 vehicle without
EBS in a vehicle combination, the
combination has to be balanced after
approx. 5,000 km.
When different brake systems, i.e. disk
brakes and drum brakes, are present in a
vehicle combination, the brakes of the
entire vehicle combination must be
balanced.
Towing vehicles without EBS always
require vehicle combination brake
balancing.
Unlike drum brakes, disk brakes do not
indicate overload to the driver by
noticeable deterioration of the braking
effect.
This overload may cause the brakes of
the towing vehicle or the trailer to
overheat. Overloaded brakes may result
in decreasing brake force, higher brake
lining and / or brake disk wear as well as
damage to the wheel bearings or axles.
Optimal distribution of the brake force in
the entire vehicle combination requires
the brakes of the vehicle combination to
be balanced with loaded vehicles
according to 71/320/EC or ECE R13 by a
neutral brake service after a short run-in
time of 2000-5000 km or within 14 days
after acceptance of the vehicle and after
every exchange of the towing vehicle.
When the towing vehicle and the trailer
are equipped with EBS, optimal brake
force distribution requires a balancing
examination and possible correction of
the EBS parameters of the towing
vehicle and possibly also the trailer.
Checks, settings and corrections of EBS
parameters may only be performed by
vehicle manufacturers!
