Check if the brake cylinder piston moves freely and within the whole nominal

range.

FIGURE 5.8

Principle of brake adjustment

(1) brake cylinder piston, (2) brake cylinder membrane, (3) expander arm, (4) adjustment bolt,

(5) cylinder fork, (6) position of fork pin, (7) brake cylinder bracket, (A) mark on the brake cylinder at

brake release position, (B) mark on the brake cylinder at full braking position, (C) position of arm at

brake release position, (D) position of arm at full braking position

Check if the brake cylinder vent holes are not blocked with impurities and that

there is no water or ice inside the brake cylinder. Check if the brake cylinder is

correctly installed.

Clean the brake cylinder. If necessary, defrost the brake cylinder and drain

water through the unblocked vent holes. Replace damaged brake cylinder with
