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 set in slightly delayed.
•Connect the pressure oil line to the pressure ports
of the brake (see illustration 8, 9 and 10). For that
purpose remove the screw plugs beforehand.
•Mount a miniature measuring coupling with a mi-
niature measuring hose to the venting hole (see il-
lustration 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 sui-
table collection container.
The hydraulic lines have to be rinsed
before connecting to the brake to pre-
vent any particles from penetrating 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 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 loaded with the full braking power on one side in case if 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 line to the brake (see illustration 8, 9 and 10). For that purpose remove the screw caps befo-
rehand.
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. Inspect the brake for leakages regularly.
