Fig. 137
CAUTION
Penetrating dirt may clog the brake
linings (Fig. 137/2) which consider-
ably reduces the braking power.
Risk of accident!
If there is dirt in the brake drum, the
brake linings must be checked by a
specialist workshop.
For this purpose, the wheel and brake
drum must be detached.
Brake pad check (Fig. 134/3)
Open the sight hole (Fig. 138/1) by pulling out
the rubber bung (if available).
At a remaining pad thickness of
a
:
Riveted pads 5 mm
(N 2504)
3 mm
b
:
Stuck-on pads 2 mm
the brake pad must be replaced.
Reinsert the rubber strap.
Brake adjustment
Depending on the function, check the wear
and function of the brakes continuously and,
if necessary, carry out a readjustment. Read-
justment is required when approximately 2/3 of
the maximum cylinder stroke is used on an
emergency brake. For this, jack up the axle and
secure it against unintentional movement.
