Brake Adjustment
It is highly recommended that brake adjustment is only carried out by
qualified service engineers
.
For the safe operation of the tanker it is imperative that a routine mainte-
nance schedule is developed for cleaning, inspection, adjustment and
lubrication of brake components.
Adjustment of brakes should be carried out as frequently as required to
maintain safe operation. When resetting brakes. The hydraulic brake ram
should be 38mm – 50mm from the end of its stroke when the brake shoes
engage the hub.
At regular intervals remove the brake drums and check linings for wear and
the drums for cracks, scoring or any other form of deteriation.
