Servicing the diagnostics connection
for the EBS brake system
The EBS diagnostics connection is estab-
lished using the EBS plug connector
(ISO 7638, 7-pin) at the front of the vehicle.
The diagnosis may only be performed by
an authorised specialist workshop.
► Keep the protective caps closed to
prevent soiling.
Brake pad conditioning
!
WARNING
Risk of accident due to rear-end colli-
sion!
When performing braking for conditioning,
other road users can collide with the rear
of your trailer and seriously injure them-
selves.
► When performing the braking for con-
ditioning, make sure that other road
users are not endangered by this ac-
tion.
In order to obtain maximum performance
and a long service life for the brake pads,
the brake pads must be in an optimum
condition. It may be necessary to condition
the brake pad for this optimum condition
due to underloading, weather conditions
and when the trailer has been stood idle for
a long period of time.
► As a preventative measure, perform
the conditioning by braking accord-
ingly.
► Procedure:
○
Strong braking and/or dragging brakes
○
Then allow the brake pads to cool
down
○
Repeat in a cyclical loading mode
► Observe other technical information
from the axle manufacturer regarding
the topic of "Conditioning".

The reference braking values are used as
the default for the legal brake tests. The
reference braking values for every current
trailer can be obtained on the KRONE
website
