8.11. Maintenance of Filters in
Connection Couplings
Depending on the operating conditions,
the filter element (a) should be cleaned
at least once a month and, if possible,
washed with gasoline. If it is excessively
dirty, it must be replaced.
To replace the filter element, make sure
that the connecting caps are not under
pressure, unscrew the Seeger ring (b)
and remove the cap (c), paying attention
to the preload of the spring. When reas-
sembling the components, in particular,
check whether the Seeger ring is in-
stalled correctly and that the head is
sealed with the sealing ring (d). You can
get support from your technical service
in this regard.

8.12. The Brakes and The Brake
System
8.12.1. Filter Element Maintenance of
Yellow and Red Couplings
The filter element (a) should be cleaned
frequently, depending on the operating
conditions. If it is excessively dirty, it
must be replaced with a new one. You
can get support from your technical serv-
ice in this regard.
Checking the wheel brakes and associ-
ated braking system includes a visual
check and careful verification of the in-
tegrity and effectiveness of all
components.
You should check the wear condition of
the brake pads and replace the pads
with new ones if the thickness is less
than 5 mm.
It is recommended to use only original
brake pads, this is vital for safety and the
life of the braking system.
The braking surfaces of the drums, when
inspected, should be free of any burning
or other signs of wear. Such defects
should be rectified at the services.
The wear of the control levers, associ-
ated return springs and support bushings
should be checked regularly and, if nec-
essary, replaced with original Käss-
bohrer spare parts. After replacement,
carefully clean the parts and lubricate
the joint and sliding points in the brakes
using grease.
