Brake system: Visual inspection of brake pads and brake discs for wear
WARNING:
Risk of accidents if brake pads and brake discs are not replaced in time.
- Risk of injury and material damage due to impaired braking effect.
→ The brake pads must be replaced when the brake pad warning indicator lights up, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm.
→ Brake discs must be replaced on reaching the wear limits.
Information
- If brake pad wear is indicated by the warning light, the warning contact (sender including line and plug connection) must also be replaced.
- Replacing the warning contact can be avoided by replacing the brake pads no later than when the pad thickness is approx. 2.5 mm.
- Warning contacts must be replaced if the core of the wire is worn. Worn insulation is not important.
- However, if only the plastic part of the warning contact is worn, there is no need to replace it.
- Visually inspect the brake pads for wear (wear limit: 2 mm).
