This range of pneumatically operated brakes uses dry and filtered compressed air at pressures up to 7 bar.

Remove the worn diaphragm; clean-up thecontacting surfaces and re-assemble with the new diaphragm and M5 bolts in position (Tightening Torque 5.7Nm).
Thruster Fitment
1. Make sure the thruster rod is extended i.e. it is not pressurised.
2. Take hold of the thruster and turn the push rod via the hex portion clockwise until it stops rotating: so a ‘clicking’ can be heard from the ratchet . Do this by hand,do not apply heavy force to push the rod once it stops turning.
3. Offer thruster to caliper making sure that both lock nuts are removed before placing hex section of push rod through caliper arm.
4. Pull caliper arms apart so that the pads are hard against the disc.
5. Fit lock nuts to thruster body loosely and unwind push rod until the gap between the body and the arm is 6mm. Make sure that the hex section of the push rod is within the slot of the other arm.
6. Tighten first lock nut to 50 - 60Nm then tighten the second nut against the first.
7. Fit tension spring to arms.
