2.2 Installation
The disc brake must not be installed or treated in
such a way that exposes it to excessive thermal,
mechanical or chemical influences that can cause a
reduced braking effect or damage to vital components
in the brakes.
These influences/damages may result in a shortened
service life for the disc brake and its components,
reduced brake effect or at worst, total brake failure.
2.3 Setting the control system/valves
Failure to follow the instructions in this chapter may
accelerate the wear to the brake pads and may cause
damage/repeated damage to the disc brake, axle and/
or wheel brake components.
2.3.1 Before entering the vehicle into service
Prior to initial use, a vehicle's disc brake com-
pressed-air brake unit must be checked and adjusted
(if necessary) in accordance with the relevant brake
calculations. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for
relevant information.
2.3.2 Replacing spare parts
Always use spare parts that are approved for the
vehicle, axle or disc brake. On replacement of any
essential components or spare parts in the disc brake
system (e.g. brake valves or control units), the disc
brake system must also be checked and adjusted
(if necessary) in accordance with the relevant brake
calculations.
2.3.3 Brake force distribution
It is very important that the distribution of brake force,
between axles/vehicles, in a vehicle combination is
adapted so that the brake force for each axle/vehicle
is proportioned in accordance with the legally applied
brake calculations.
If the brake force is not correctly distributed, it can
lead to excessive braking of a vehicle and/or one
or more axles in the combination. This can result in
overheating, accelerated wear and damage to the
disc brake, pads, brake discs, tyres and wheel com-
ponents.
Before a vehicle is entered into service, it must be
set up in accordance with the specified values in
the relevant brake calculation. After the pads/brake
discs have been run in for a period of around 3,000
to 5,000 km, the brake force distribution between the
truck/tractor and trailer must be checked and adjusted
(if necessary). The same also applies to repair and
replacement of parts if there is any suspicion that
heat/overheating has caused to damage to the axle/
brake components (e.g. seals, hub/wheel bearings
and brake disc).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer for information on
the appropriate action.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause dam-
age/repeated damage to the disc brake, axle and/or
wheel brake components.
2.4 Brake chamber
Dirt/water ingress into the disc brake mechanism
housing could affect the function of the brake and as
a result shorten its service life.

Venting hole
Therefore, to prevent water ingress, it is important
that the brake chamber is of the correct design and
that the seal between the brake chamber and disc
brake mating surfaces is undamaged and correctly in
place.
It is also important for the disc brake's function that
the brake chamber housing is correctly vented.
To this end, the downward-facing drain holes must
be opened as a minimum,
. Other drain
plugs can remain in position in the brake chamber
housing.
Caution!
If the venting holes remain closed, the brake cham-
ber and disc brake may not operate correctly.
