How to Use the 1308 BRAKE LINING SET
Proper installation and maintenance are essential to ensure the optimal performance and safety of the 1308 BRAKE LINING SET. Follow these steps for correct usage:
- Pre-Installation PreparationVerify that the 1308 BRAKE LINING SET matches the vehicle’s make, model, and brake system specifications. Check the product certification and batch number for traceability.
- Inspect the brake drum, wheel cylinder, and hardware (such as springs and pins) for wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace any damaged components before installing the new brake lining set.
- Clean the brake assembly thoroughly with a non-corrosive cleaner to remove dust, grease, and debris. Avoid using compressed air to blow out brake dust, as it may contain harmful particles—use a vacuum or damp cloth instead.
- Brake Lining InstallationRemove the old brake linings and hardware, taking note of the assembly structure for proper reinstallation. If necessary, take photos before disassembly.
- Attach the 1308 BRAKE LINING to the brake shoe using the provided hardware, ensuring a secure fit. Make sure the lining is aligned correctly with the brake drum to avoid uneven wear.
- Reinstall the brake shoe assembly into the brake drum, ensuring that all springs, pins, and clips are properly seated and tightened to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- Post-Installation AdjustmentAdjust the brake clearance using the vehicle’s adjustment mechanism (e.g., star adjuster) to ensure proper contact between the brake lining and drum. The clearance should be set according to the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.
- Pump the brake pedal several times to seat the brake lining properly and restore brake pressure. Test the brakes in a safe, low-speed environment to ensure smooth operation and no abnormal noise.
- Regular Maintenance & InspectionInspect the 1308 BRAKE LINING SET every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers (or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer) for wear, cracks, or glazing.
- Check the brake fluid level and condition regularly, and replace the brake fluid according to the vehicle’s maintenance schedule.
- If abnormal noises (such as squealing or grinding) or reduced braking performance are noticed, inspect the brake lining immediately and replace if necessary.
Application Scenarios
The 1308 BRAKE LINING SET is designed for versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial vehicle applications across various industries. Its robust performance and compatibility make it an ideal choice for the following scenarios:
1. Long-Haul Commercial Trucks
Long-haul trucks operate under extreme conditions, including heavy loads, high speeds, and extended braking cycles. The 1308 BRAKE LINING SET’s high heat resistance and stable friction coefficient ensure consistent braking performance, even during prolonged use on highways. Its durable construction reduces wear, minimizing the need for roadside maintenance and keeping trucks on the road longer.
2. Urban Buses & Public Transportation
Urban buses require frequent stopping and starting, placing significant stress on brake components. The 1308 model’s low noise level (≤ 55dB) ensures a comfortable ride for passengers, while its quick heat dissipation prevents brake fade during peak-hour operation. Its compatibility with a wide range of bus models makes it a popular choice for public transportation fleets worldwide.
3. Construction & Heavy-Duty Equipment
Construction vehicles (such as dump trucks and excavators) operate in harsh environments with heavy loads and uneven terrain. The 1308 BRAKE LINING SET’s high tensile strength and wear resistance make it suitable for these demanding applications, providing reliable braking even when carrying heavy construction materials. Its compliance with international certifications ensures it meets the safety standards required for construction sites.
4. Agricultural Vehicles
Agricultural vehicles (such as tractors and harvesters) operate in dusty, muddy environments that can damage brake components. The 1308 model’s sealed design and corrosion-resistant backing plate protect against dirt and moisture, ensuring long-lasting performance in agricultural settings. Its adjustable friction performance also makes it suitable for the varying load conditions of farm equipment.
5. Logistics & Delivery Fleets
Logistics and delivery fleets require reliable brake components to meet tight delivery schedules. The 1308 BRAKE LINING SET’s quick installation, long service life, and low maintenance requirements reduce fleet downtime, ensuring timely deliveries. Its compatibility with multiple vehicle models also simplifies inventory management for fleet operators.
