Dana Spicer and Haldex
WARNING
Do not use moly-disulfide-loaded grease or oil.
Both the life and reliability of the slack adjuster
will be reduced if this type of grease is used,
which could lead to brake failure, resulting in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Lubricate the automatic slack adjuster at the grease
fitting. See
Fig. 4 for a Dana Spicer slack adjuster.
Dana Spicer Low Lube slack adjusters should be
lubricated with SHC 460 synthetic lubricant. See
Fig.
5 for a Haldex slack adjuster. Use standard chassis
lubricant for Haldex slack adjusters.
Gunite
For operating temperatures of –20°F (–29°C) and
higher, use Texaco Multifak EP-2 or Mobil Grease
No. 77.
For operating temperatures between –20°F (–29°C)
and –40°F (–40°C), use Lubriplate Aero grease.
Lubricate a Gunite automatic slack adjuster at the
grease fitting until grease appears on the camshaft,
or flows from the grease relief. See
Fig. 6.
The newest Gunite automatic slack adjusters are
produced without a grease relief. During lubrication
with a grease gun, lubricant is forced through the
drilled worm wheel onto the camshaft. Lubricate the
automatic slack adjuster at the grease fitting until
grease appears on the camshaft.
