The brakes must be at normal operating temperature. To do so, gently warm up the brake discs and brake drums while dry by braking the vehicle several times.

IMPORTANT: Only brake test stands with test speeds ≤ 5 km/h may be used.
You must observe the regulation contained in the operating instructions of the relevant test stand manufacturer.

Failure to do so may result in damage to the vehicle and the system and also personal injury.
