The disc brake components need to be lubricated to ensure proper brake
operation. The calipers and slack adjusters need to be lubricated two or
four times during the life of the brake pad lining or every six months. The
lubricating procedure involves mechanically adjusting the brakes and will
require an assistant. The motorhome must be parked on a flat level surface
during the lubrication process. The drive axle spring brakes will need to be
charged by releasing the emergency brake or an alternate method of releas-
ing the spring brakes is by caging the spring brake chambers. If the spring
brake chambers are going to be caged, the caging procedure is explained in
the section under Towing Procedures. To ensure safety prior to releasing
the spring brakes, special precautionary procedures are required to prevent
the motorhome from rolling. Use at least four wheel chocks located at two
separate wheel positions. Place each wheel chock snug against the forward
side and backside of each tire with the wheel chocks facing opposite direc-
tions. The wheel chocks will remain in place until the brakes are adjusted
and the proper brake pad to rotor clearance has been verified.
Lubricate the brake components at each wheel position. The lubricant
required is a special high temperature grease. Refer to the grease chart for
the lubricant specifications.
WARNING: Use wheel chocks prior to the lubrication procedure.
Use at least four wheel chocks located at two separate wheel posi-
tions. Place each wheel chock snug against the forward side and
the backside of each tire with the wheel chocks facing opposite
directions. The wheel chocks will remain in place until the brakes
are adjusted and the proper brake pad to rotor clearance has
been verified. Failure to use wheel chocks can result in property
damage, severe injury or death.
NOTE: Lubricate the brake actuating components inside the
caliper at least two to four times during the life of the lining or
every six months. Use only high temperature lubricant which
meets or exceeds the required specifications.
Lubricate the caliper camshaft first
then lubricate the slack adjuster. To
ensure the grease thoroughly lubricates
the camshaft, the slack adjuster will be
manually adjusted full distance in each
direction. Manually adjusting the slack
adjuster will move the camshaft through
the entire range of motion ensuring
proper lubrication.
