BRAKE SYSTEM<br />
WARNING! Do not use any replacement part<br />
in the brake system unless it conforms<br />
exactly to original specifications. A nonconforming<br />
part in your vehicle's brake system<br />
could cause a malfunction resulting in an<br />
accident causing death or personal injury.<br />
Sizes and types are so related to one another<br />
that a seemingly unimportant change in one<br />
may result in a change in how well the brakes<br />
work for you on the road. If parts do not work<br />
together properly, you could lose control of<br />
your vehicle, which could cause a serious<br />
accident.<br />
WARNING! Do not work on the brake system<br />
without the parking brake set and wheels<br />
chocked securely. If the vehicle is not secured<br />
to prevent uncontrolled vehicle movement, it<br />
could roll and cause death, serious personal<br />
injury or damage to the vehicle.<br />
• Use wood blocks (4 in. X 4 in. or larger)<br />
against the front and rear surfaces of the<br />
tires. Be sure the vehicle cannot move.<br />
Lubrication<br />
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE<br />
Cam-actuated brake components such as anchor pins<br />
and brake camshafts are subjected to high temperatures,<br />
and must be lubricated with nonmelting, water resistant<br />
brake grease meeting R–S Specification 0–616 (NLGI–<br />
Grade 1).<br />
• Lubricate according to Table 1, “Recommended<br />
Maintenance Intervals,” Page 150.<br />
WARNING! Do not apply too much lubricant to<br />
brake components—lubricate sparingly.<br />
Excessive amounts of lubricant could contaminate<br />
brake linings, which could reduce<br />
brake effectiveness and cause an accident<br />
resulting in death or injury.<br />
Brake and Slack Adjuster Lubrication<br />
According to the interval, pressure lubricate the slack<br />
adjuster and brake camshaft (bracket/tube). Two grease<br />
fittings are provided for both the slack adjuster and camshaft<br />
bracket/tube.<br />
• Use standard chassis lubricant (meeting No. 1 grade<br />
high temperature, water proof specifications).<br />
