Life-threatening danger!
Disc must be absolutely degreased before all contact with the brakes
linings.
In case of lining pollution with grease, the nominal brake force is not
guaranteed.
Rail clamps are fail safe components.
All setting and repairs must be performed by skilled operators.
Caution: T
he rail clamp is supplied in “manually locked” position and the
braking force is factory-set.
This manual must be followed up to chapter 2 included (General
operational check) for the rail clamp to be operational.
The DR 085/088 FHM rail clamps with diamond-tipped pads are intented
for purely static uses. Any dynamic braking requires a replacement of the
pads.
When assembling, operating and maintaining the brake it is to be
ensured that the entire drive train is secured against being switched on
unintentionally. Moving parts can cause severe injury. Rotating parts
(e.g. brake disc) must be secured by the operator against unintentional
touching.
Strongly pre-loaded pressure springs are installed in the springed
thrusters of the brake. The spring thruster may only be disassembled by
the factory.
