4.1 Safety Instructions for Service Work and
Repair Work
Observe relevant safety instructions for service work and
repair work on commercial vehicles, especially for jacking up
and securing the vehicle.
Use only genuine Knorr-Bremse parts.
Before starting service work, ensure the service brake
and parking brake, as well as the bus stop temporary
hold brake, if fitted, are not applied and that the vehicle
cannot roll away.
Screw threads and tapped holes must be free
of lubrication and residuals of thread locking
products.
After any service work:
Check the brake performance and the system behaviour
on a roller dynamometer. Check function and effective-
ness. Bear in mind that a lower performance can appear
during the breaking-in phase of the brake pads and/or
the brake disc.
Please follow service manual instructions and adhere to the
wear limits of the pads and the discs (see Section 5.1).
Use only recommended tools (see Section 2.1).
Tighten bolts and nuts to the prescribed torque values
(see Section 2.4).
After re-fitting a wheel according to the vehicle
manufacturer’s recommendations, ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the tyre inflation valve, the
caliper and the wheel rim, to avoid damage to the valve and
the wheel.
Observe the “
Safety and Environment Guidelines
” section
on pages 5 and 6.
