2.2.2 Automatic rod
adjuster
Every 1000 operating hours
Checking and adjusting the
operating clearance of the
wheel brakes
The basic adjustment is the same as for the standard rod adjuster. The
adjustment is made automatically when the brake cams have twisted by
approx. 15°. The ideal lever adjustment (if the cylinder attachment cannot
be influenced) is approx. 15% before reaching the right angle.
The empty stroke “a” should be approx. 10% of the lever arm.
Functional check
Each time the brake linings are changed, at least once a year. Remove
the rubber cap. Turn back the adjusting screw (arrow) using a ring
spanner by approx. 3/4 turns. The free play should be at least 45 mm,
with a lever length of 150 mm.
Operate the brake lever several times by hand. The automatic adjustment
must run smoothly, i.e. you will hear the gear coupling lock in and the
adjusting screw will turn slightly clockwise on the reverse stroke. Fit the
cap. Grease it using ECO-Li 91.
