13.3.2 AKS 3004
Checking the stabilising
device (on the side of the
friction pads)
Prerequisite: Connection to AKS 3004, ball diameter 50 mm
Open the stabilising handle (Fig. 169,1).
Close the stabilising handle until a resistance can be felt (the friction pads
lie on the ball, they have not been tightened yet).
If the arrow on the pressure pad (Fig. 170,3) is in front of or on the marked
surface (Fig. 170,1), then the friction pads are still in good condition
(Fig. 170,4).
If the arrow on the pressure pad is within the marked surfaces (Fig. 170,1
to 2), then the friction pads are slightly worn (Fig. 170,5).
If the arrow on the pressure pad is at the end of the marked surface
(Fig. 170,2) or exceeds it, then the friction pads are worn (Fig. 170,6).
13.3.3 WS 3000 D
Checking the stabilising
device (on the side of the
friction pads)
Prerequisite: Connection to WS 3000, ball diameter 50 mm
Activate the stabilising mechanism. To do this, press the coupling handle
downwards (Fig. 171,2) from the closed position (Fig. 171,1) to its stop
limit.
A wear indicator (Fig. 172) with a bar diagram (Fig. 172,1) is attached on the
coupling handle.
