Foreword
Purpose
This Eaton manual is intended as a diagnostics guide for technicians involved in the servicing of Eaton EB and ES Model Brakes.
How to Use this Manual
This manual outlines the steps necessary to pinpoint the source of problems and concerns related to braking systems. It does not describe service procedures, but instead refers the technician to service manual sections whenever possible. Therefore, this manual should be used as a "checklist" in conjunction with Eaton service manuals and other procedural guides.
To isolate the source of a problem or concern, follow the steps below:
1. Identify the symptom(s) exhibited by the braking system. Locate the related section in this manual. (For example, if the brakes are making unusual sounds, turn to the page labeled "Noise".)
2. Use the left-hand column as a checklist. Check each item on the list. If an item is found to be defective, perform the corresponding action prescribed in the right-hand column. (For example, noise may be caused by a bent brake spider. The recommended action is to replace the spider.)
3. Refer to the appropriate service manual section for information on specific procedures. Related service manual sections are shown in parenthesis, whenever possible.(Service Manual BRSM-0033)
Note: Included in the General Information section are assembly diagrams to assist in troubleshooting.
A Work through all potential conditions or causes related to the
symptom encountered before making a final conclusion. It is possible that several problems exist, each with the same symptom. Therefore, checking each item on the list will help to ensure that all problem sources are eliminated or corrected.
A Replace only those parts that have been identified as definite
problems. Doing so will save unnecessary time and expense.

General Information
A DANGER
AVOID CREATING DUST POSSIBLE CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD
While Eaton does not offer asbestos brake linings, the long-term effects ofsome non-asbestos fibers have not been determined. Current OSHA Regulations cover exposure levels to some components of non asbestos linings but not all. The following precautions must be used when handling these materials.
1. AVOID CREATING DUST. Compressed air or dry brushing must never be used for cleaning brake assemblies or the work area.
2. EATON RECOMMENDS THAT WORKERS DOING BRAKE WORK MUST TAKE STEPS TO MINIMIZE EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE BRAKE LINING PARTICLES. Proper procedures to reduce exposure include working in a well ventilated area, segregation of areas where brake work is done, use of local filtered ventilation systems or use of enclosed cells with filtered vacuums. Respirators approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) or National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) should be worn at all times during brake servicing.
3. Workers must wash before eating, drinking or smoking; shower after working, and should not wear work clothes home. Work clothes should be vacuumed and laundered separately without shaking.
4. OSHA regulations regarding testing, disposal of waste and methods of reducing exposure for asbestos are set forth in 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910.001. These regulations provide valuable information which can be utilized to reduce exposure to airborne particles.
5. Material safety data sheets on this product, as required by OSHA, are available from Eaton.
