Air Dryer Desiccating Agent Replacement

・・・・・・・・・・・

[NOTICE]

Every 1,000 Hours or Once a Year

◆ If the compressor air dryer performance is poor, vapor contained in the compressed air will condense into water, adversely affecting the equipment. Regularly check and replace the desiccating agent.

◆ The air dryer is installed near the rear of the air tank (right side of the carrier).

Parking Brake Pad Clearance Adjustment

Every 1,000 Hours or Once a Year

The parking brake pads come to use limit when their remaining thickness becomes as small as 0.15 in. (3.8 mm) at any point on the circumference. They must be replaced with new ones, then. After parking brake has been used as emergency brake, the pads stay remarkably worn out. Check them soon. If you fail to check the pads for wear after such brake application, the pad wear may cause system failure.

1. Release parking brake to bring the brake chamber into the extension side stroke end.

Performance Inspection

Open the drain cock on the air tank and check whether any water drains out. If drainage occurs during normal operation, the desiccating agent may have become permeated with oil, etc., lowering its ability to absorb moisture. If so, have the nearest TADANO distributor or dealer check the air dryer.

Desiccating Agent Replacement

For replacement of the desiccating agent, contact the nearest TADANO distributor or dealer.

2. Screw the hand brake bolt in accordance with the pad wear, until the clearance between the pad and the disk plate becomes approx. 0.006 in. (0.15 mm) per side.

3. When it becomes impossible to adjust the clearance by hand brake bolt, readjust the brake as follows:

(1)Move the lever to release the parking brake and bring the brake chamber to the extension stroke end

(2)Connect the link to the lever by adjusting its position.

(3)Check the clearance between the pad and the disk plate. It must be approx. 0.006 in. (0.15 mm) per side. If the clearance is correct, lock it with the jam nut.
