Braking-in new brake linings
New brake linings must always be carefully braked-in.
Brake-in the brake linings by operating the service brake with short intervals in the speed range of
10 up to 60 kph (6.2 up to 37.5 mph).
Avoid prolonged and unacceptable powerful use of the brake.
The maximum temperature of the brake drums and brake discs may not exceed 200°C.
The braking-in period for the brake lining is normally approx. 500 km.
Check
Using the following test, it can be determined whether the brake lining has successfully passed the
braking-in period:
•
After the braking-in period the vehicle with a speed of 60 kph (37.5 mph) must grind to a halt
within 4.0 seconds.
CAUTION!
During the braking-in period of the brake linings, long lasting and powerful
operation of the service brake is not recommended.
CAUTION!
Perform the checks mentioned below only if the road safety permits.
Do NOT bring other road users in danger!
CAUTION!
For security reasons, avoid using the retarder and engine brake during the
braking-in period of the brake lining. Otherwise the braking-in period of
approx. 500 km is not sufficient for carefully braking-in the brake lining.
