INSTALLATION
! WARNING
•
To prevent serious eye injury, always wear safe eye protection
when you perform vehicle maintenance or service.
•
Block the wheels to prevent the vehicle from moving. Support
the vehicle with safety stands. Do not work under a vehicle sup-
ported only by jacks. Jacks can slip and fall over. Serious per-
sonal injury can result.
(1)
Check the camshaft and bushings and seals for wear and corrosion.
(2)
Turn the camshaft by hand to check for smooth operation.
(3)
Repair or replace parts as required.
(4)
Apply the service brake and spring brake several times. Check that
the chamber return spring retracts the push rod quickly and com-
pletely. If necessary, replace the return spring or the air chamber.
(5)
The new automatic slack adjuster must be the same length as the one
you are replacing.
Table below shows the length of slack adjuster that is used with each
brake chamber size.
Chamber and Automatic Slack Adjuster Sizes
(6)
Place blocks in front of and behind the vehicle's wheels to prevent it
from moving.
! WARNING
When you work on a spring chamber, carefully follow the service
instructions of the chamber manufacturer. Sudden release of a com-
pressed spring can cause serious personal injury.
(7)
If the brake has a spring brake, compress and lock the spring to com-
pletely release the brake. No air pressure must remain in the service
half of the air chamber.
! CAUTION
Most Meritor automatic slack adjusters manufactured after January
1990 have lubrication holes in the gear splines. Do not operate the
actuator before you install the slack adjuster.
Lubricant can pump through the holes and onto the splines. Damage
to components can result.

tension to completely retract the slack adjuster.
