Electric Brake Maintenance
The CHCFRF series feature 4 wheel brakes to enhance and aid the safe transport of your header. The drum brakes on
your wagon are operated electrically and activate an electro magnet that in turn causes the brakes to be applied. Electric
brakes are a dependable system similar to the hydraulic drum brakes on your automobile.
Horst uses non asbestos brake pads. When replacing the brake pads, replace with non asbestos type pads.
As with all brakes periodic maintenance and inspection is required. Brake troubleshooting, maintenance or replacement
should be performed by qualified personnel only.
For replacement parts please call your dealer or contact Horst Wagons.
Note: Initial Service:
Have the brakes serviced after the first 320 km (200
miles) of operation when the brake shoes and drums have
"seated,"
Inspection
Brake should be inspected for operation and function
each time the wagon is used. If a loss of performance is
experienced, the header wagon brakes must be serviced
immediately.
Service
Brake service should be performed by qualified personnel
only.
•
Brakes should be adjusted and the drum removed for
inspection and service:
•
At 4,800 km (3,000) mile intervals or 1 year,
•
Or as use and performance requires.
Backing Plate
Magnet
•
With normal use, servicing at one year intervals is
usually adequate. With increased usage, this work
should be performed more frequently as required.
•
Magnets and shoes must be changed when they
become excessively worn or scored, a condition which
can reduce vehicle braking.
•
Backing plate, magnet arm, magnet, and brake shoes
must cleaned.
•
Inspect and replace any loose, worn parts, stretched
or deformed springs.
•
Replacement is necessary if the brake pad is worn to
1/16" or less. Brake pads contaminated with grease
or oil, or abnormally scored or gouged must also be
replaced.
•
When replacement is necessary, it is important to
replace both pads on each brake and both brakes of
the same axle. This will help retain the "balance" of
your brakes.
•
Brake drums should be inspected for surface wear or
damage and out of round wear.
