1.8 mm wide at any point and there are no less
than 2.5 mm between the brake lining and
supporting plate.
Figure 166: Checking the brake lining when fitted with the
help of the transport safety wear gauge
1
Check brake linings for damage and thick dirt.
Have damaged or very dirty brake linings
replaced. Contact specialist dealer.
2
Push brake lever and hold.
3
In doing so, check whether the transport safety
wear gauge can fit between the brake lining
supporting plates.
If the transport safety wear gauge fits between
the supporting plates, the brake linings have
not reached their wear limit. Contact your
specialist dealer if they are worn.
Checking the brake discs
Put on gloves as the brake disc is very sharp.
1
Take hold of brake disc and joggle it gently to
check whether the brake disc is positioned
against the wheel free of backlash.
2
Check that the brake linings move uniformly
and symmetrically back towards the brake disc
when you pull and release the brake lever.
If the brake disc can be moved or the brake
linings move erratically, contact your specialist
dealer.
3
Check that the brake disc is no less than
1.8 mm thick at any point.
If the brake disc is under the wear limit and is
less than 1.8 mm thick, the brake disc must be
replaced. Contact specialist dealer.
