3.24 INSPECTING THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE ADJUSTER

Brake drum

Inspection, brake adjuster travel
1.

Measure the basic setting L1.

2.

Measure the position when the brakes are 
applied, L2 (minimum brake system 
pressure 6 bar).

3.

Calculate the brake stroke L3 = L2 - L1, see 
"Technical data". If the brake stroke differs 
from the specified value, take the following 
action: 

4.

Check whether the control plate (1) is locked 
in respect of the fixed bracket.

5.

If not, turn the control plate as far as possible 
(until the internal stop is felt) in the direction 
in which the brake adjuster is moved during 
braking.

6.

Fix the control plate in this position using the 
attachment nut on the fixed bracket.

7.

Check the internal slip using a torque 
wrench. 

Inspection, internal slip
1.

Make certain that there is sufficient pressure 
in the reservoirs (6.5 bar minimum).

2.

Release the parking brake.

3.

Fit a torque wrench on the hexagonal 
adjusting bolt and turn this counter-
clockwise. For the permitted value, see 
"Technical data".
If the specified reverse torque is not 
reached, but the worm shaft already turns at 
a lower value, the brake adjuster should be 
replaced.

3.26 INSPECTION, BRAKE LINING THICKNESS

Inspecting the brake lining thickness 
(FTP axle excepted)
1.

Pressurise the air brake system (pressure 
regulator should cut out) and make sure that 
the vehicle's parking brake is not engaged.

2.

Check the brake lining thickness through the 
openings in the dust cover.

3.

Replace the brake lining if it is worn down to 
the wear indicator mark on the lining.

Note:
If in doubt about the amount of brake lining 
wear, release the brakes and remove the 
dust cover.
