BRAKE SYSTEM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SLACK ADJUSTER BRAKE CHAMBER PUSHROD WARNING! Manual adjustment of automatic slack adjusters is a dangerous practice that could result in an accident involving death or injury. It gives the operator a false sense of security about the effectiveness of the brakes. Contact the Service Department at your dealership if the stroke exceeds the above specifications. A stroke exceeding these values may indicate a problem with the slack adjuster or the brake foundation. Measuring Pushrod Travel Table 4 Brake Adjuster Stroke 80–90 PSI (552 – 621 KPA) BRAKE APPLICATION AIR CHAMBER TYPE (Size) BRAKE “APPLIED STROKE” 01830 PUSHROD TRAVEL (Applied Stroke) 20 Front 1 to 1–3/4 in. (25–44mm) 30 Rear 1–1/4 to 2 in. (32–51mm) • If the pushrod travel reaches the above specifications, check the slack adjuster installation. Inspect brake adjuster and anchor bracket for damage. The anchor bracket should be tight. • With the air system at 100 psi (690 kPa) or more, apply the brake. If adjustment is necessary and the slack adjuster is working, the adjusting hex nut will rotate during the chamber return stroke. Installing a wrench on the hex nut will make this easier to see. On each stroke after the first, the amount of adjustment and chamber travel will be less. – 184 – Y53-6033 Regional Haul (R05/10)
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE BRAKE SYSTEM Constant manual adjustment of automatic slack adjusters can shorten the life of the internal clutch. If the installation appears to be free of damage, but the applied stroke range could not be achieved, the slack adjuster must be replaced. NOTE: The brake adjuster alone does not ensure proper brake operation. Inspect all brake components. All brake components work together and must be checked periodically to ensure the brake system works properly. See the “Maintenance Manual” for more information on brake maintenance. Disc brake pads Visually inspect all brake pad linings. Brake pads should be replaced when the remaining lining reaches 3⁄16 inch thickness or less. It is recommended that all disc brake pads be replaced at the same time since this will maintain balanced braking. At a minimum, replace all disc brake pads on one axle, both ends, at the same time. Service Brake Component Inspection Remove each wheel to inspect the brake components. WARNING! When replacing disc brake pads, be sure to use the same lining material on both axles. Mixing lining types can result in unbalanced braking, increased pad wear, or degraded stopping performance possibly cause an accident resulting in death or serious personal injury.
