Wheel brakes
The following information regarding brake adjustment applies for all
models with the exception of Premium vehicles.
The wheel brakes that have been used are drum brakes that do not
automatically adjust. They have an automatic reverse that is sensitive
to the course you drive. The linings of the wheel brakes are wear
and tear parts; therefore, they must be checked every 5,000 km or
at least once every year. One sure sign of strong brake lining wear
is described in the aforementioned check for the overrunning equip-
ment: if the safety clutch can be pushed in more than approx. 45 mm.
Automatic Brake Adjustment (Premium)
All Premium models have an automatic brake adjustment that
independently compensates for wear in the brake lining.
Regular adjustment of the brakes is not
necessary.
Brake adjustment is automatically deactivated when driving in
reverse.
Despite this brake adjustment, the brake linings are generally wear
and tear parts. Therefore, their condition must be checked every
5,000 km, but no later than once every year. Visual inspection is
carried out through the small inspection holes on the rear of the
wheel brakes.
Please go to an authorised specialist if, when checking the over-
running brakes, the drawbar can be pushed in more than 60 mm.
It is mandatory that the brake pads (exception: Pre-
mium models) are regularly adjusted by an autho-
rised specialist to compensate for wear in the brake
lining and minimise brake pedal travel on the wheel
brakes and, therefore, the overrun coupling, keeping
it as consistent as possible. All models, including the
Premium model, must undergo an initial inspection
by an authorised specialist after the rst 500 km (see
also 12.3 Brakes).
When driving downhill on a mountain pass, check
to ensure that the brakes are cooled suciently.
Put the base vehicle into a lower gear and drive
downhill at slow speed.
Stretch the trailer combination as often as possible
to avoid continuous bung by the caravan.
Always make use of parking areas and passing points
to give the brakes a chance to cool o.
Please read the separately enclosed operating manu-
al of the axle/brake manufacturer (Knott).
