2. General Service and
Maintenance Instructions
1. Conduct regular visual checks of the brakes, tires
and all chassis components. Refer to Section 19 for
more information:
Inspect for secure mounting, wear, leaks,corrosion
and damage.
Check for loose, broken or cracked air hoses, air
system leaks, and damaged components.
Check that brake hoses and cables are properly secured.
For proper brake pad wear, check that there is enough
clearance to allow the caliper full movement during
normal operation.
2. Check the brake pads at regular service intervals to
ensure that the brake pad hold down springs are in
the correct position, and that brake pads are not worn
beyond the minimum wear limits described in this manual.
3. When replacing brake pads, inspect the rotors for signs of
wear, cracks, grooves, scoring or hot spots.
4. Visually check the brake caliper at regular service
intervals as defined by the brake caliper manufacturer’s
basic inspection program. Refer to Section 5 of this
manual for further information.
5. Check the spring brake chambers to make sure the
parking springs are NOT caged in the released position.
Be sure the dust plugs are properly installed.
6. Make sure that the vent holes in the air brake chamber
are not covered with snow, ice, mud, etc.
7. Inspect the wheel bearing unit for grease leaks at every
brake pad change.
8. Visually check the brake assembly (e.g. pads, rotor, etc.)
for oil or grease contamination.
9. Check that all dust caps and boots are present and in
good condition.
10. Regularly conduct general safety checks in accordance
with any applicable laws.
11. After every wheel change, the wheel nuts MUST be
re-tightened to the specified torque level after the initial
100 miles of operation, and then at every regular
service interval.
Failure to re-tighten wheel nuts at
specified intervals could result in
component failure which, if not avoided,
could result in damage to property.
