Disc Brake
WARNING:
Never use pneumatic or electric wrench during all the processes.
CAUTION:
Expertise is required for the inspection and maintenance of disc brake,
so please go to Dongfeng franchised service station to do related mainte-
nance.
Working principle
Floating caliper is adopted, and the wear of friction lining is compensated auto-
matically through mechanical adjuster. Driven by the brake chamber, this adjuster
pushes the inner brake pad to contact the brake disc, such that the brake caliper
moves horizontally along the sliding pin, making outer brake pad contact the brake
disc and realizing braking function.
Automatic adjuster ensures proper clearance between brake pad and brake disc.
Method for manual adjustment of disc brake clearance
Park the vehicle safely, remove the tires,
and pull the caliper body toward the outside of
wheel until it cannot be moved, and then use a
feeler gauge to check the clearance between
outer brake pad and brake disc. If the clearance
falls out of the acceptable range, please do
maintenance for the automatic adjuster. Clear-
ance: 0.6-1.2mm.
