Observe the applicable safety regulations for
repair and service work on commercial vehicles,
especially the safety precautions for jacking up and
securing the vehicle.
Use only original SAF brake parts.
Always secure the vehicle to prevent it from
rolling away before commencing repair and
service work!
The service/parking brake and, on buses, the
frequent-stop brake, must be released.
Danger !
Observe the repair and service instructions and
wear limits of both the brake pads and brake discs
(see Chap. 5.1).
Use the recommended tools (see Chap. 2.1).
Tighten screws, nuts and bolts to the prescribed
tightening torques (see Chap. 2.4).
Screw threads and threaded holes must be
free of lubricants, grease and residues of screw
locking agent!
Danger !
When fitting wheels in accordance with the
instructions from the vehicle manufacturer, ensure
that the wheel has sufficient clearance to the brake
calliper, otherwise there is a risk of damage to the
wheel.
After completing work on the disc brake, always
perform a final check on the roller test bench to
verify function and effectiveness. Note that the
brake pads and/or brake disc may have reduced
braking efficiency during their run-in phase.
