11.2.5 Placing the parking brake in the truck
1. Place the key and hub (h) on the motor shaft.
2. Fit the brake on the hub.
3. Check before fitting the brake that the friction disc is centred in re-
lation to the magnet housing. 
- It may be necessary to apply 48 V DC to the magnetic coil to po-
sition the friction disc correctly.
4. Insert the fixing screws for the brake unit (a) (5 mm allen screws) 
and tighten them to 17±1.7
 Nm.
5. Place the cap over the centre of the brake.
6. Check play between the magnet housing and the pressure plate 
with the brake fitted.
7. Connect the brake cable to the truck’s electrical system (arrow).
8. Start the truck and release the parking brake.
9. Check that the friction disc rotates freely.
Cut the voltage and check that the pressure plate locks the friction 
disc and that play is correct.
IMPORTANT!
Do not hammer the friction disc onto the motor shaft, as cracks may 
occur on the brake disc resulting in it breaking.
Push the friction disc onto the motor shaft instead.
