Compressed air brakes of the support

NOTE

Setting the movement forces in the working condition

•
The movement forces are adjusted on the air pressure brakes in the support joints.
•
For this purpose it is necessary to remove the caps on the support arms, refer to
Chapter 1, "Removing/installing covers".
•
In the idle state of the brakes, that means not selected, the air pressure brakes are set
loosely to approx. 2 mm play and the movement force is very high (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 5).
•
If the brakes are selected and released, the compressed air bellows expands and the
support arms can be moved easily, this is the working condition.
•
Press the corresponding keys on the horizontal beam for this purpose: release brakes.
t
•
In the working condition the movement forces of the joints were set to max. 30, 50 and
70 Nm, commencing with the lower small joint.
•
The brake force in the working condition is adjusted with a 17 mm offset ring wrench on
the upper screw nut on the brake plate.
