B. Running Gear Maintenance - Brake Adjustment
When resetting brakes, brake rams should be 1½“- 2” from end
of stroke before brake shoes tighten on hub.
It is important that operators develop a schedule for periodic cleaning,
inspection, adjustment and lubrication of brake components.
This will provide the prevention rather than cure of brake problems.
Adjustment of brakes should be carried out as frequently as required, in
order to maintain the original safety standard.
Slack adjuster travel and uniform lining clearance must be maintained.
At regular intervals, brake drums should be removed and linings checked
for wear. The linings must not be allowed to wear down beyond the wear
line, or to the rivets. After fitting new or re-lined shoes always fit new return
springs. Each time the hubs are removed for brake inspection.
Check the following parts for wear:-
1. All hub components.
2.
Grease seals. (It is recommended that new seals are fitted)
3. Bearing cups, cones & rollers.
4. Brake anchor pins and location holes.
5. Cam rollers and retaining pins.
6. Wheel studs and nuts.
7. Check brake drum for cracks, scoring or any form of deterioration.
Prior to re-assembly, the following parts should be coated with ‘Copper slip’ or equivalent product:
1. Cam roller location diameters and journals.
2. Anchor pin location holes in brake shoes.
3. Brake Anchor Brackets (spiders) camshaft bores.
NOTE: Brake linings should be replaced as a complete set.
Once the new linings have been fitted, braking performance will be reduced until the new linings have been
“bedded in”. This can take up to 1000km, depending on operating conditions. Therefore it is recommeded
that linings are replaced well before critical brake inspections such as MOT tests etc.
Check with the manufacturer of your slack adjusters for any adjustment that it requires.
NOTE: Brakes should be adjusted by a competent person. Please consult your dealer or the manufacturer before
adjustment.

Important Tyre Information
1. Tyre pressures are very important and often overlooked. A couple of minutes spent checking them could save you
money, correct pressures are related to loads, speeds and vehicle handling and are vital for maximum safety,
braking, grip & tyre life.
2.
Under Inflation: Causes excessive flexing and deterioration of the casing and also rapid wear of the tread
shoulders. Your tanker will have excessive stability problems on undulating ground if one tyre is under nflated on
one side.
3.
Over Inflation: Results in a reduced area of contact with the road and greater wear on the tread centre which
makes your tyres more susceptible to impact damage.
