Brake System WARNING! Do not work on the brake system without the parking brake set and wheels chocked securely. If the vehicle is not secured to prevent uncontrolled vehicle movement, it could roll and cause serious personal injury or damage to the vehicle. • Use wood blocks (4 in. X 4 in. or larger) against the front and rear surfaces of the tires. Be sure the vehicle cannot move. Lubrication Cam-actuated brake components such as anchor pins and brake camshafts are subjected to high temperatures, and must be lubricated with nonmelting, water resistant brake grease meeting R–S Specification 0–616 (NLGI–Grade 1). • Lubricate according to Table 2, “Recommended Maintenance Intervals,” Page 121. WARNING! Do not apply too much lubricant to brake components—lubricate sparingly. Excessive amounts of lubricant could contaminate brake linings, which could reduce brake effectiveness and cause an accident. Brake and Slack Adjuster Lubrication Preventive Maintenance According to the interval, pressure lubricate the slack adjuster and brake camshaft (bracket/tube). Two grease fittings are provided for both the slack adjuster and camshaft bracket/tube. • Use standard chassis lubricant (meeting No. 1 grade high temperature, water proof specifications). • Do not use moly-disulfide loaded grease or oil (they may shorten the service life of the slack adjuster). • Do not use pressure-release grease fittings when lubricating the slack adjuster. Checks and Adjustments All vehicle operators should check the brakes regularly. Always adjust the brakes when they are cool. • Park the vehicle on a level surface and block the wheels before attempting any brake checks or adjustments. – 154 – PB1318 3/01 Model 330
Preventive Maintenance Brake Linings WARNING! Do not use brake linings with a thickness below the specified minimum. Such linings will have lining rivets exposed that can damage the brake drum and reduce brake efficiency, which could cause an injury accident or system failure. • Brake linings should be inspected for wear by a qualified mechanic at an Authorized Service Center. See Table 3, “Maintenance Schedule,” Page 124. In severe service applications inspect the linings more frequently. Automatic Slack Adjusters Your Model 330 is equipped with automatic brake (slack) adjusters. Brake System Periodically, brake adjustment should be checked using the following procedure: 1. Check brakes when the temperature of the service brake linings are cool and the system air pressure is at 100 psi (690 kPa) minimum. 2. Release the parking brakes to allow the slack adjusters to retract. 3. Measure the retracted pushrod length from the face of the brake chamber to the center of the pushrod pin. 4. Apply 80 to 90 psi brake application and measure the same distance. 5. The difference is the pushrod travel distance (applied stroke). Verify that the result is within the correct range (see Table 10, ”Brake Adjuster Stroke”). Correctly installed and functioning brakes (auto slack) will produce the strokes listed for each chamber type. Model 330 PB1318 3/01 – 155 –

Brake System<br />
WARNING! Do not work on the brake system<br />
without the parking brake set and wheels<br />
