Danger | Risk of death caused by limbs being caught or crushed by rotating parts when performing tests on the brake test stand | Never leave the vehicle unattended on the rollers except in an emergency. Ensure that no one is under the vehicle or near rotating parts during testing. In case of emergency, use the EMERGENCY OFF switch to shut down test stand. | |

Notes on the evaluating and interpreting brake tests on test stands | |||
General brake test | |||
1 | Check braking characteristics of the service brake and parking brake when driving. | Only applies for countries without a specified brake test on the roller brake test stand. | |
| |||
Brake test on roller brake test stand | |||
2 | Switch off all-wheel drive. | Model 907 with code ZG1 (Engageable all-wheel drive) or with code ZG3 (Engageable all-wheel drive with gear reduction) | |
3 | Move vehicle with front axle onto roller brake test stand. | ||
| 000 588 05 21 00 Roller brake test stand | ||
| 000 588 06 21 00 Roller brake test stand | ||
The transmission must be in the idle position during the test. | |||
4 | Measure deceleration values of front service brake. | | |
Carry out test with engine running so that maximum vacuum is available. | |||
If the deviations exceed the limits, | |||
| |||
determine cause and correct. | |||
After obtaining special order. | |||
5 | Move rear axle of vehicle into roller brake test stand. | ||
| 000 588 05 21 00 Roller brake test stand | ||
| 000 588 06 21 00 Roller brake test stand | ||
The transmission must be in the idle position during the test. | |||
6 | Measure deceleration values of rear service brake. | | |
Carry out test with engine running so that maximum vacuum is available. | |||
If the deviations exceed the limits, | |||
| |||
determine cause and correct. | |||
After obtaining special order. | |||
7.1 | Measure deceleration values for mechanical parking brake. | Without code B25 (Electrical parking brake) | |
When operating the parking brake, a braking effect must be noticeable after 3 to 4 notches. | |||
If the deviations exceed the limits, | |||
| |||
determine cause and correct. | |||
After obtaining special order. | |||
7.2 | Measure deceleration values of electric parking brake. | With code B25 (Electric parking brake) | |
| |||
To do so , press and hold the switch of the electric parking brake. Document maximum values before wheels lock up. | |||
If the deviations exceed the limits, | |||
| |||
determine cause and correct. | |||
After obtaining special order. | |||
8 | Drive the vehicle off the roller brake test stand. | ||
9 | Enter deceleration values of service brake and parking brake on the maintenance sheet. |
