WARNING
!
Follow the safety instructions of this manual and the brake manual.

- Chock the wheels on an axle which is not to be raised.

Clean the brakes, removing any dirt and dust. Use dust removal equipment or a vacuum cleaner but
!
do not use compressed air-inhaling dust particles may be hazardous to your health ! See the brake
manual for instructions.
If the disc brake is equipped with a parking brake function, ensure that the spring brake chamber
!
is fully disengaged and mechanically secured in the released position (See Section 2-3).
Removing pads
Using an 8mm ring spanner, release the brake adjustment by
turning the adjustment shaft (55) anticlockwise until the thrust
plate (28) is fully retracted.
WARNING
!
Never use an impact wrench or suchlike to turn the
adjustment shaft (55) as this may damage the adjustment
mechanism!

When releasing the brake adjustment it is important that the
protection springs (30) are positioned properly in the cover (33).
This to ensure that the thrust plates (28) are free to retract fully.
