•
Do not perform repair work on the vehicle brakes;
p. 7 - 83.
•
All repair work on the vehicle brakes may only be performed by
Manitowoc Crane Care
specialist workshop with specially trained repair crew.
•
Make sure that only original spare parts are used;
p. 7 - 82.
Risk of accidents due to uneven braking.
If the brake pads and brake discs are replaced on only one side of the axle
then the wheels will brake unevenly.
Always have the brake pads and brake discs replaced on both sides of the
axle. Where axles lines have two brake callipers per brake disc, you must
always have the brake pads changed on both brake callipers.
New brake linings do not provide optimal braking and must therefore be run
in by periodic braking.
Risk of damage to the brakes when running them in.
Constant or heavy braking at high speeds can overheat the brakes and
damage them.
The brakes must only be run in through periodic braking.
This must first be done at low speed and then later at medium speed.
•
Perform a test drive to make sure that the new brake pads are sufficiently
run in before putting the truck crane into normal operation.
