4.3.8 Checking the actuation interface
Danger!
●
Wear respiratory protection in order to avoid
inhaling particles which can be hazardous to
health! Brake pad wear produces dust which can
cause lung damage!
●
Pressure from lines and components must be
released before they are opened!
●
If a brake chamber is installed with a spring
mechanism, it must be ensured that the spring is
mechanically safeguarded during removal, see
„3.2.1 Lifting and supporting the vehicle
Caution!
●
Take care when using chemicals and/or cleaning
tools (e.g. knives, brushes, etc.). This to avoid
damage or displacement of hoses, seals and
other components.
●
Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the surfaces. Do
not use compressed-air.
