TESTING WEAR OF REAR BRAKE DISC

TESTING WEAR OF REAR

BRAKE DISC
HD785-5 Serial No.: 4001 4253
HD985-5 Serial No.: 1021 and up

Stop the machine on level ground, apply the

parking brake, and put blocks under the tires.
Install and remove plugs and gauges with the
brake cooling oil temperature below 60C and
with the retarder brake control lever at the OFF
position.
If the disc is near the wear limit, check the wear
frequently, regardless of the maintenance interval. In addition, check the performance of the
retarder carefully.
1. Remove air bleed plug (1) of the rear brake, then
install disc wear measurement gauge K.
When installing, tighten nipple [2] completely and
pull rod [1] of disc wear measurement gauge K
fully.
Pull rod [1] of gauge K fully before operating the retarder brake.
2. Turn the starting switch ON, and check that the
air pressure gauge is in the green range.
3. If the air pressure is low, start the engine and run
it at 2000 rpm until the air pressure gauge enters
the green range. When it enters the green range,
turn the starting switch OFF.
4. Pull rod [1] of disc wear measurement gauge K
fully, then operate the retarder brake control lever slowly (take approx. 10 sec.) to apply the
brake.
5. In this condition, push in rod [1] of disc wear measurement gauge K until it contacts the piston.
6. If mark a on disc wear measurement gauge K goes
in beyond the end face (portion b) of the case,
the disc has reached the wear limit.
7. After checking the brake wear, pull back rod 1 of
wear measurement gauge K fully, then release the
retarder brake.
After checking the wear, if the retarder brake
control lever is pulled suddenly, there is
seious danger that the rod of the disc wear
measurement gauge may fly out suddenly.
for this reason, when the rod is fully pulled,
release it, then pull the retarder control
lever slowly over a period of approx. 10 seconds. (Release the retarder brake.)
8. After measuring the brake wear, install the air
bleed plug, and bleed the air.
For details, see Bleeding air from brake circuit.
