Maintenance Intervals
The COMBISTOP brakes are almost maintenance-free. As a result of wear occurring
during operation, the air gap increases. The function of the brake can only be ensured
when the air gap X is checked at regular intervals (see section "7.3.1 Checking the Air
Gap").
If a value larger than X
readjusted (see section "7.3.2 Readjusting the Air Gap").
If, despite readjustment, the air gap cannot be adjusted to the required dimension, the
linings must be replaced (see section "7.3.3 Replacing the Lining").
Furthermore, the teeth of the lining and the hub must be checked. Worn parts must be
replaced.
