Axle and brake
For optimum brake performance with a minimum of wear, we recom-
mend that the brakes on the tractor are balanced with those on the
machine. After the service braking system has been run in for a suita-
ble period, arrange for the brakes to be balanced by a specialist
workshop.
Have the balancing process carried out before these empirical values
are reached if you discover excessive wear on the brake pads.
To avoid problems with the brakes, adjust all vehicles in accordance
with EC Directive 71/320 EEC.
WARNING
•
Repair and adjustment work on the service braking system
should only be carried out by trained specialist personnel.
•
Special care is required for welding, torch cutting and drill-
ing work in the vicinity of brake lines.
•
Always carry out a braking test after any adjustment or re-
pair work on the braking system
