MODIFICATION NOTES

12.2.14

General brake test added.

	Prepare brake test
1	Switch off differential lock
2	Switch all-wheel drive off	For model 460 and 461 with Command Trac.
	General brake test (Only applies for countries without a specified brake test on the brake test stand)
3	Check braking behavior of service brake when driving	It must be ensured that the brake test when driving is performed as per the country-specific legislation and regulations. Otherwise, people may be injured or there may be damage to material and the environment! Press brake pedal uniformly. With braking deceleration fluctuations or pulsating brake pedal: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. With a difference in the service brake performance on the wheels on a single axle: ↓ Check/correct tire pressure subject to separate repair order. If the service brake performance difference remains even after repeat brake test on the wheels on a single axle: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. The locking limit was not reached: ↓ Subject to a separate repair order, check whether the brake values still comply with the legal regulations. The specified minimum requirements and tolerance limits for the brake system must be fulfilled on a vehicle-specific basis in accordance with the country-specific legislation. If this is not the case: ↓ Repair any complaints subject to separate repair order after performing diagnosis with the appropriate findings.
4	Check braking behavior and actuating travel of service brake when driving	It must be ensured that the brake test when driving is performed as per the country-specific legislation and regulations. Otherwise, people may be injured or there may be damage to material and the environment! Operate parking brake lever uniformly.
4		Number of notches by which the hand brake has to be adjusted, if until then there is no adequate braking effect If braking effect insufficient, brake deceleration fluctuations or pulsating operation: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. If the blocking limit is not reached or if braking effect is on one side: ↓ Subject to a separate repair order, check whether the brake values still comply with the legal regulations. The specified minimum requirements and tolerance limits for the brake system must be fulfilled on a vehicle-specific basis in accordance with the country-specific legislation. If this is not the case: ↓ Repair any complaints subject to separate repair order after performing diagnosis with the appropriate findings.	*BE42.20-P-1002-02A
	Brake test on brake test stand
	Risk of death caused by limbs being caught or crushed by rotating parts when performing tests on the brake test stand	Never leave the vehicle unattended on the rollers except in an emergency. Ensure that no one is under the vehicle or near rotating parts during testing. In case of emergency, use the EMERGENCY OFF switch to shut down test stand.	AS42.00-Z-0001-01A
5	Move vehicle with front axle into roller brake test stand
	000 588 05 21 00 Roller brake test stand		WS42.00-P-0006B
6	Move automatic transmission to selector lever position "N" or shift manual transmission to neutral
7	Determine and document the braking characteristic and brake values of the front axle	Press brake pedal uniformly. The maximum value prior to the wheels locking up is to be documented.
8	Move vehicle with rear axle into roller brake test stand
	000 588 05 21 00 Roller brake test stand		WS42.00-P-0006B
9	Move automatic transmission to selector lever position "N" or shift manual transmission to neutral
10	Determine and document braking response and brake values of rear axle	Press brake pedal uniformly. The maximum value prior to the wheels locking up is to be documented.
11	Determine and document braking response, brake values and actuating travel of parking brake	Operate parking brake uniformly. The maximum values prior to the wheels locking up are to be documented.
12	Release parking brake and drive vehicle out of roller brake test stand
13	Evaluate braking response and documented brake values of service brake
	Notes on the evaluating and interpreting brake tests on test stands		AH42.00-P-0004-01A
		The stated deviation applies for the Federal Republic of Germany; differently phrased country-specific regulations must be observed accordingly. With brake value fluctuations or pulsating brake pedal: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. If the difference in the braking effect of the service brake at the wheels of an axle is more than 25 % of the highest value: ↓ Check/correct tire pressure subject to separate repair order. After correcting tire pressure: ↓ Repeat the brake test on a test stand, subject to a separate repair order. If the difference in the braking effect of the service brake is still outside the tolerance during the repeated brake test: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. The locking limit was not reached: ↓ Subject to a separate repair order, check whether the brake values still comply with the legal regulations.	AH42.00-P-0004-01A
14	Evaluate braking response and documented brake values of parking brake

		Number of notches by which the hand brake has to be adjusted, if until then there is no adequate braking effect If braking effect insufficient, brake deceleration fluctuations or pulsating operation: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. If the difference in the braking effect of the parking brake at the wheels of an axle is more than 50 % of the highest value: ↓ Determine and rectify cause subject to separate repair order. The locking limit was not reached: ↓ Subject to a separate repair order, check whether the brake values still comply with the legal regulations.	*BE42.20-P-1002-02A
