3. Remove the shoe alignment spring (C61903 for the caliper A, C61968 for the calipers D and
F, C62058 for the caliper G) from its seat and replace it with a new one positioning it as
shown in Figure 3.
4. Remount the brake shoe following the procedure in point 2 in reverse.
5. Readjust the play between the disc and the lining as described in Chapter 9.1.
6. Substitute the safety screw with the silencer.
9.5. Changing the gaskets
1. Power up the thruster (only the negative part).
2. Unscrew the ring nuts and remove the thruster from the brake.
3. Cut off the pressure to the thruster and disconnect the power line.
4. Remove the threaded bars which anchor the thruster block (E80799 for the thruster 3-3N
DUAL and E80829 for the thruster 1-2N DUAL), the bell and the cover; slowly and carefully
unscrew allowing the preloaded springs to release gradually.
Take the utmost care in these operations as the thrusters contain preloaded springs.
Therefore proceed gradually with the utmost care and attention until they are
completely released and no longer represent a threat to safety.
5. Remove the cover (Z50163 for the thruster 3-3N DUAL and Z50165 for the thruster 1-2N
DUAL) and the "negative" springs.
6. Carefully pull out the internal “negative” thruster unit (Z50259 for the thruster 3-3N DUAL
and Z50325 for the thruster 1-2N DUAL.
7. Remove the bell (E80800 for the thruster 3-3N DUAL and E80830 for the thruster 1-2N
DUAL).
8. Carefully pull out the internal “positive” thruster unit (D71201 + C62064 for the thruster 3-
3N DUAL and Z50324 for the thruster 1-2N DUAL).
9. Remove the damaged gaskets (from the bell, from the internal “negative” thruster unit and
from the internal “positive” thruster unit) and replace them with new ones. It is advisable
to replace all the gaskets to avoid further down time of the machine. Before placing the
new gaskets in their seats, lubricate with lithium soap grease, mineral oil and solid
lubricants. Grease also the rods of the internal "negative" and "positive" thrusters before
remounting the thruster.
10. Remount following the instructions from point 8 to point 6 in reverse order.
11. Put back the "negative" springs in the pins of the internal "negative”thruster unit.
12. Rest the cover on the "negative" springs, align the anchoring holes and insert the threaded
bars complete with blind nuts and flat washers in their seats.
13. Remove the silencer, insert the safety screw and tighten preloading the springs until the
cover comes into contact on the bell.
