Freightliner Columbia. Manual — part 25
Automatic slack adjusters that have a grease fitting
must be lubricated periodically to ensure proper
brake operation.
WARNING
Failure to lubricate slack adjusters could lead to
dragging brakes or a brake failure, resulting in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Dana Spicer and Haldex
NOTICE
Do not use moly-disulfide-loaded grease or oil.
Both the life and reliability of the slack adjuster
will be reduced if this type of grease is used.
Lubricate the automatic slack adjuster at the grease
fitting. See
. Use standard chassis lubricant for
Haldex slack adjusters. Dana Spicer Low Lube slack
adjusters should be lubricated with SHC 460 syn-
thetic lubricant.
Gunite
For operating temperatures of –20°F (–29°C) and
higher, use Texaco Multifak EP-2 or Mobil Grease
No. 77.
For operating temperatures between –20°F (–29°C)
and –40°F (–40°C), use Lubriplate Aero grease.
Lubricate a Gunite automatic slack adjuster at the
grease fitting until grease appears on the camshaft,
or flows from the grease relief. See
The newest Gunite automatic slack adjusters are
produced without a grease relief. During lubrication
with a grease gun, lubricant is forced through the
drilled worm wheel onto the camshaft. Lubricate the
automatic slack adjuster at the grease fitting until
grease appears on the camshaft. See
42–07 Meritor Camshaft
Bracket Lubrication
IMPORTANT: Perform
before lubri-
cating the camshaft bracket.
NOTE: If equipped with an extended-
maintenance Q Plus
™
brake system, the cam-
shaft bracket will not have a grease fitting.
These camshafts use a special NLGI grade syn-
thetic polyurea grease and do not require lubri-
cation for 3 years or 500,000 miles (804 500
km), whichever comes first. The extended-
maintenance camshaft bushings are lubricated

during the brake reline service interval. For ser-
vice and lubrication instructions, see Group 42
of the Columbia® Workshop Manual.
For camshaft brackets with grease fittings, use an
NLGI Grade 1 or Grade 2 multipurpose chassis
grease.
Lubricate the camshaft bushings through the grease
fitting on the camshaft bracket or the spider until new
grease flows from the inboard seal. See
WARNING
If grease leaks out under the camhead, the cam-
shaft bracket grease seal is worn or damaged. See
Group 42 in the Columbia® Workshop Manual for
grease seal replacement instructions. If this seal
is not replaced, the brake linings could become
contaminated with grease. The stopping distance
of the vehicle will be increased, which could result
in personal injury or property damage.

Lubrication
IMPORTANT: Perform
before lubri-
cating the slack adjusters.
NOTE: If equipped with an extended-
maintenance Q Plus
™
brake system, the slack
adjuster will not have a grease fitting. These
slack adjusters use a special NLGI grade syn-
thetic polyurea grease and do not require lubri-
cation for 3 years or 500,000 miles (804 500
km), whichever comes first. The extended-
maintenance slack adjusters are lubricated dur-
ing the brake reline service interval. For service
and lubrication instructions, see Group 42 of
the Columbia® Workshop Manual.
For slack adjusters with grease fittings and for oper-
ating temperatures above –40°F (–40°C), use a
NLGI Grade 1 clay-base grease, or a NLGI Grade 1
or 2 lithium-base grease.
For slack adjusters with grease fittings and for oper-
ating temperatures below –40°F (–40°C) and above
–65°F (–54°C), use a NLGI Grade 2 synthetic oil,
clay-base grease.
Lubricate the slack adjuster at the grease fitting until
grease is forced past the pressure-relief capscrew or
past the gear splines around the inboard snap ring.

5.
Check the brake pedal mounting plate adapter
for signs of wear or cracks at the bosses (the
area from which the pivot pin was removed). Re-
place it if necessary.
6.
Check the brake pedal rollers for signs of wear
or cracks. Replace it if necessary.
7.
If the rollers are replaced, replace the roller pin,
install a new cotter pin, bend it to 90 degrees
and apply Torque Seal (OPG F900 White) to the
cotter pin.
8.
Remove the plunger from the valve. Using alco-
hol, clean the existing grease from the plunger.
Check the plunger for signs of wear or cracks.
Replace it if necessary.
9.
Lubricate the plunger with barium grease (BW
246671).
10. Insert the plunger in the valve.
11. Install the brake pedal with the pivot pin.
12. Install a new roll pin and apply Torque Seal
(OPG F900 White) to the roll pin.
13. Install the brake valve assembly. See Section
42.10, Subject 110, of the Columbia® Workshop
Manual for instructions.
14. Test the brakes before returning the vehicle to
service.
42–10 Brake Inspection
IMPORTANT: This procedure should be per-
formed prior to lubrication of the brake compo-
nents.
Parking Brake Operational Check
CAUTION
Perform the following check in a clear safe area. If
the parking brakes fail to hold the vehicle, per-
sonal injury or property damage may result.
1.
With the engine running, and air pressure at cut-
out pressure, set the parking brake.
2.
Put the vehicle in the lowest gear and gently at-
tempt to move it forward. The vehicle should not
move. If the vehicle moves, the parking brakes
are not operating correctly and must be repaired
before the vehicle is returned to service. See

Brake Component Inspection
1.
Park the vehicle on a level surface, set the park-
ing brake, and chock the tires. Once the tires are
chocked, release the parking brake.
WARNING
Manually adjusting an automatic slack adjuster to
bring the pushrod stroke within legal limits is
likely masking a mechanical problem. Adjustment
is not repairing. Before adjusting an automatic
slack adjuster, troubleshoot the foundation brake
system and inspect it for worn or damaged com-
ponents. Improperly maintaining the vehicle brak-
ing system may lead to brake failure, resulting in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
2.
With the engine off, and 100 psi (689 kPa) of air
tank pressure, have an assistant apply and hold
an 80 to 90 psi (550 to 620 kPa) brake applica-
tion.
3.
Check to see if the colored over-stroke band on
each brake chamber pushrod is exposed.
If a band shows, the stroke is too long. Check
the foundation brake components for wear or
damage, and repair as needed. See Group 42 of
the Columbia® Workshop Manualfor inspection,
troubleshooting, and repair procedures.
4.
Measure the applied chamber stroke. See
for the proper stroke for the type of chamber
being used. If the stroke is too short, the brakes
may drag or will not fully apply. Check for im-
proper operation or adjustment of the automatic
slack adjuster. See Group 42 of the Columbia®
Workshop Manual for inspection and trouble-
shooting procedures.
5.
Start the engine and build air pressure to at least
100 psi (689 kPa). Shut down the engine.
6.
Check all of the foundation brake components for
damage, wear, and loose or missing parts. Re-
pair as needed. See Group 42 of the Columbia®
Workshop Manual for repair procedures.
