    CAUTION Check the brake adjustment frequently during the first 500 miles after relining. Overloading or using only the trailer brakes to stop the complete tractor-trailer unit will cause the heat absorption capacity of the brake to be exceeded. Hotter brake linings and drums, longer stopping distances, and shorter brake lining life will result.
