  "text": "In the case of vehicles equipped with automatic brake adjustment devices the adjustment of the brakes shall, prior to the type-I test above, be set according to the following procedures as appropriate:\n2.3.1.6.1. In the case of vehicles equipped with air operated brakes the adjustment of the brakes shall be such as to enable the automatic brake adjustment device to function. For this purpose the actuator stroke shall be adjusted to:\nso ≥ 1,1 × sre-adjust\n(the upper limit shall not exceed a value recommended by the manufacturer)\nWhere:\nSre-adjust is the re-adjustment stroke according to the specification of the manufacturer of the automatic brake adjustment device, i.e. the stroke, where it starts to readjust the running clearance of the brake with an actuator pressure of 15 per cent of the brake system operating pressure but not less than 100 kPa.\nWhere, by agreement with the technical service, it is impractical to measure the actuator stroke, the initial setting shall be agreed with the technical service.\nFrom the above condition the brake shall be operated with an actuator pressure of 30 % of the brake system operating pressure but not less than 200 kPa 50 times in succession. This shall be followed by a single brake application with an actuator pressure of > 650 kPa.\n2.3.1.6.2. In the case of vehicles equipped with hydraulically operated disc brakes no setting requirements are deemed necessary.\n2.3.1.6.3. In the case of vehicles equipped with hydraulically operated drum brakes the adjustment of the brakes shall be as specified by the manufacturer.",
