144 Brake system
Brake pads
New brake pads need to be "worn in". Operate the machine and
brake lightly without building up too much heat in the brake pads.
Operate in this way during the first day.
Brake adjustment
The service brakes and parking brake are self-adjusting. No after-
adjustment is required.
Service brakes, checking brake pads
Check wear of the brake pads every 500 hours.
NOTE! This applies for normal operation. For more
demanding operations, or when operating in conditions that
are tough on the brake pads, check the brake pads more
often.
1 Remove the protective plate (A) that covers the breather nipple.
2 Remove the protective plate (B) for the brake caliper.
3 Check that the brake pads are minimum 3 mm. For example,
check using a mirror (C).
The brake pads should be changed at the latest when thickness at
the most worn point is 3 mm.
NOTE! If the brake pads are worn down to less than 3 mm, the
pistons in the brake calipers and the brake discs may be
damaged.
Parking brake, checking brake pads
Check the brake pad wear every 1000 hours.
The brake pads should be changed at the latest when thickness at
the most worn point is 5 mm.
NOTE! If the brake pads are worn down to less than 5 mm, the
brake calipers and brake discs may be damaged.
