Operating/Assembly instructions
Please observe protection
note ISO 16016.
If several brakes are assembled we recommend to connect the pressure port for each brake
individually (in parallel) (see illustration 9).
Please note, if several brakes are connected in a series (see illustration 10), the braking
effect of all following brakes may become effective slightly delayed.
•Connect the pressure oil line to the pressure ports of
the brake (see illustration 8, 9 and 10). For that pur-
pose remove the screw plugs beforehand.
•Mount a miniature measuring coupling with a minia-
ture measuring hose to the venting hole (see illustra-
tion 8, 9 and 10), for that purpose the screw plug
needs to be removed beforehand. Discharge the end
of the miniature measuring hose in a suitable collec-
tion container.
The hydraulic lines have to be rinsed
before connecting to the brake to pre-
vent any particles from getting into the
brake. If the lines are not rinsed suffi-
ciently, the gaskets may be damaged
and the operation of the brake is no
longer ensured.

The pressure port on top serves for venting the brake. For a wash-up system please make
use of one of the pressure ports on top.
Always connect the brake consisting of two halves to a pressure line (see illustration 9 and
10), since the brake disk is located with the full braking power on one side in case that one
half of the brake fails.
With the parallel connection of brakes (see illustration 9) each brake needs to be vented
individually.
It is not recommended to use steel plugs for venting.
•Connect the drain pipe to the brake (see illustration 8, 9 and 10). For that purpose remove the sealing plugs
beforehand.
If no drain line is connected, a vacuum may be generated inside the brake which will dama-
ge the gaskets.
Never give any pressure on the drain line. Gaskets and scrapers will be destroyed in this
way.
In order to locate a leakage immediately, it is recommended to use a transparent hose and
collection container. Since higher pressures (5 bar at the maximum) are not generated, a
pneumatic hose may be used, too. Please regularly inspect the brake for leakages.
