6.1 General instructions
The objective of this chapter is to give instruction and
guidance on how the axle and its components shall
be replaced.
Caution!
● Regularly carry out general visual inspections of
the brakes, tyres and all parts of the chassis to
make sure they are firmly fastened and to check
for wear, leaks, corrosion and damage.
● Following each wheel change, after 50 km and
then after 150 km, tighten the wheel nuts to the
stipulated tightening torque
● Do not use Helicoil inserts and do not re-cut the
thread.
● All contact surfaces and treated surfaces must
remain paint-free.
● During each brake pad change, the brake disc
must be checked for wear and cracking.
● Only use the special tool from SAF-HOLLAND.
● We recommend that only original spare parts from
SAF-HOLLAND are used
