If your vehicle is equipped with brake slack adjusters, bring the pads
closer by turning the bolt provided for this purpose with a 19 spanner (see
Fig. 2).In a clockwise direction close the bolt until you feel resistance and
then back off a ¾ turn (see Fig. 2).
If your vehicle is equipped with self-adjusting rods, the operation of
lining play compensation manages itself.
Check lining wear through the hole provided for this purpose.
If the pads are unusable or questionable, contact your local ROLLAND
dealer.

c- Check wheel hub bearings :
The bearings are wearing parts; their lifespan depends on working conditions, load,
speed and especially their adjustment and lubrication.
To check the play of hub bearings, lift the axle (vehicle shut down (see § 1-1 on
page 3) and empty) so that the wheel does not touch the ground (need for a jack
5T capacity in line under the axle) and grasp the wheel right and left trying to
move it.
Monitor after the first commissioning.
Every 2 years, verify the adjustment of tapered bearings. Excessive play may
damage the bearing seats and braking devices.
d- Checking the hub caps :
For push on caps, visually check that they are fully fitted into the hubs.
For screw caps, make sure they are properly seated at the front of the
hub.
