Abb.5 Trommelbremse figure 5 drum brake
The drum brakes are nearly maintenance-free. If the brake performance gets weaken you can
rough the linings with sandpaper. This is also recommended if the brakes got overheated. For
this work you have to remove the corresponding wheel. While you are working on the brakes
please pay attention to the following:
Never oil or grease on linings or drum!
If the linings are nearly worned out till the sheets you have to replace them. Occasionally one
drop of oil on the brake lever keeps it going (See arrow in figure 5).
