CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS : BRAKE COMPENSATOR
To perform any checks, it is necessary to calculate the weight on the rear axle in order to refer to the adjustment graphs.
Preliminary pre-check operations.
Exemple
Calculate :
1) The rear weight of the vehicle (empty tank + 1 person)
2) The weight of fuel in the fuel tank
3) The weight of options fitted to the vehicle
4) Add these three weights together to obtain the TOTAL REAR VEHICLE WEIGHT; remove all objects from the vehicle totalling more than
10 kg in weight.
5) Select the adjustment graph that corresponds to the vehicle model. (Refer to tableN° 4).
6) Check the brake pressure.
7) Adjust the load sensitive brake compensator if necessary.
- The rear weight of the vehicle (empty tank + 1 person) = 412 kg
- The weight of fuel in the fuel tank (tank 1/2 full) = 18 kg
- The weight of options fitted to the vehicle (sun roof) = 8 kg
- Total rear vehicle weight = 438 kg
- Corresponding graph (Graph N° 1)
# Note the vehicle type Refer to table N° 1
# Note the fuel level Refer to table N° 2
# Note the vehicle options Refer to table N° 3
