AIRSTREAM SAFARI –BAMBI TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL 2001
D-13
BRAKE CLEANING, INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION
Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at yearly intervals or more often as use and performance requires.
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored thereby preventing adequate vehicle
braking.
Cleaning and Inspection
Clean the backing plate, magnet arm, magnet, and brake shoes. Make certain that all the Parts removed are replaced
in the same brake and drum assembly. Inspect the magnet arm for any loose or worn parts. Check shoe return
springs, hold down springs, and adjuster springs for stretch or deformation and replace if required.
CAUTION: ASBESTOS DUST HAZARD
SINCE MOST BRAKE SHOE FRICTION MATERIALS NORMALLY CONTAIN ASBESTOS, CERTAIN
PRECAUTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN WHEN SERVICING BRAKES.
1. AVOID CREATING OR BREATHING DUST.
2. AVOID MACHINING, FILING, OR GRINDING THE BRAKE LININGS.
3. DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR OR DRY BRUSHING FOR CLEANING. (DUST
CAN BE REMOVED WITH A DAMP BRUSH.)
Brake Lubrication
Before reassembling apply a light film of Lubricate or similar grease on the brake anchor pin, the actuating arm
bushing and pin, and the areas on the backing plate that are in contact with the brake shoes and magnet lever arm.
Apply a light film of oil on the actuating block mounted on the actuating arm.
CAUTION: DO NOT GET GREASE OR OIL ON THE BRAKE LININGS OR DRUMS
MAGNETS:
Your electric brakes are equipped with high quality electromagnets that are designed to provide the proper input
force and friction characteristics. Your magnets should be inspected and replaced if worn unevenly or abnormally.
As indicated below a straightedge should be used to check wear.
Even if wear is normal as indicated by your
straightedge the magnets should be replaced if
any part of the magnet coil has become visible
through the friction material facing of the magnet.
It is also recommended that the drum armature
surface be re-faced when replacing magnets. (See
Brake Drum Section) Magnets should also be
replaced in pairs (both sides of an axle). Use only genuine Dexter replacement parts when replacing your magnets.
