Wagner ZX830 ThermoQuiet Scheibenbremsbelagsatz Bedienungsanleitung

1. Einleitung

This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your Wagner ZX830 ThermoQuiet Disc Brake Pad Set. Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting any installation or service to ensure safety and optimal performance of your vehicle's braking system. This product is designed for rear brake applications.

2. Sicherheitshinweise

• Professionelle Installation empfohlen: Brake system components are critical for vehicle safety. If you are not experienced with automotive brake repair, it is highly recommended to have these brake pads installed by a qualified professional technician.
• Schutzausrüstung tragen: Tragen Sie bei Arbeiten an Fahrzeugbremsen stets geeignete persönliche Schutzausrüstung, einschließlich Schutzbrille und Handschuhen.
• Fahrzeugunterstützung: Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Fahrzeug vor Beginn jeglicher Arbeiten sicher auf Unterstellböcken auf ebener Fläche steht. Verwenden Sie niemals nur einen Wagenheber.
• Bremsflüssigkeit: Brake fluid is corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and painted surfaces. Dispose of used brake fluid responsibly.
• Komponenteninspektion: Inspect all brake system components (rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware) for wear or damage and replace as necessary.
• Drehmomentspezifikationen: Beachten Sie stets die vom Fahrzeughersteller vorgegebenen Drehmomentvorgaben für alle Befestigungselemente.

3. Packungsinhalt

Your Wagner ZX830 ThermoQuiet Disc Brake Pad Set package should contain the following items:

• Four (4) Wagner ZX830 ThermoQuiet Disc Brake Pads
• Four (4) Brake Pad Clips (hardware)

This image displays the complete Wagner ZX830 ThermoQuiet Disc Brake Pad Set, including four brake pads and four metal clips for installation. The pads feature a dark gray friction material and a black backing plate. The clips are silver-colored metal.

4. Installation

Die folgenden Schritte geben einen allgemeinen Überblickview of disc brake pad replacement. Always refer to your vehicle's specific service manual for detailed instructions and torque specifications.

1. Fahrzeug vorbereiten: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and block the wheels not being worked on. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel to be removed.
2. Anheben und sichern: Safely lift the vehicle and support it with jack stands. Remove the wheel.
3. Bremssattel entfernen: Locate the caliper mounting bolts. Remove these bolts and carefully slide the caliper off the rotor. Do not let the caliper hang by the brake hose; support it with a wire or bungee cord.
4. Remove Old Pads and Hardware: Remove the old brake pads and any existing hardware (clips, shims). Note their orientation.
5. Reinigen und prüfen: Thoroughly clean the caliper bracket and piston. Inspect the brake rotor for excessive wear, scoring, or warping. Replace the rotor if necessary. Inspect the caliper for leaks or damage.
6. Bremssattelkolben zusammendrücken: Use a suitable caliper piston compression tool to retract the caliper piston(s) fully. This creates space for the new, thicker brake pads. Open the brake fluid reservoir cap before compressing the piston.
7. Neue Hardware installieren: Install the new brake pad clips (hardware) onto the caliper bracket. Ensure they are seated correctly.
8. Neue Bremsbeläge einbauen: Install the new Wagner ZX830 brake pads into the caliper bracket. Ensure the friction material faces the rotor and the pads slide freely within the hardware.
9. Bremssattel neu einbauen: Carefully slide the caliper back over the new pads and rotor. Reinstall the caliper mounting bolts and tighten them to the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque.
10. Zusammenbauen: Reinstall the wheel and tighten lug nuts hand-tight. Lower the vehicle and then fully tighten the lug nuts to specification.
11. Pumpenbremspedal: Before driving, slowly pump the brake pedal several times until a firm pedal feel is achieved. This seats the pads against the rotor and restores proper brake fluid pressure. Check the brake fluid level and top off if necessary.

5. Break-in Procedure (Bedding-in)

Properly bedding-in new brake pads is crucial for optimal performance, longevity, and noise reduction. Follow these steps:

1. Fahren Sie das Fahrzeug mit mäßiger Geschwindigkeit (z. B. 30-40 mph).
2. Apply the brakes with moderate pressure, reducing speed to about 10 mph. Do not come to a complete stop.
3. Release the brakes and accelerate back to the starting speed.
4. Repeat this process approximately 10-15 times. Allow a few minutes between cycles for the brakes to cool slightly.
5. After the initial cycles, drive for several miles without heavy braking to allow the brakes to cool completely.

Avoid hard braking or prolonged, continuous braking (like descending a long hill) for the first 200 miles after installation. This allows the pads to fully conform to the rotors.

6. Wartung

Regular inspection of your brake pads and system is vital for safety and performance.

• Regelmäßige Inspektion: Inspect brake pads for wear during tire rotations or at least every 12,000 miles (20,000 km) or annually, whichever comes first.
• Verschleißindikatoren: Many brake pads, including the Wagner ZX830, feature wear indicators that produce a squealing sound when the pads are worn to a critical level. Replace pads immediately if you hear this sound.
• Mindestdicke: Replace brake pads when the friction material thickness reaches the manufacturer's minimum specification, typically around 2-3mm.
• Bremsflüssigkeit: Check brake fluid level regularly and ensure it is within the recommended range. Consult your vehicle's manual for brake fluid replacement intervals.

7. Fehlerbehebung

If you experience any issues with your braking system after installing new pads, consider the following:

• Bremsgeräusche (Quietschen/Schleifen):
  • Kreischen: New pads can sometimes squeal during the break-in period. Ensure proper break-in procedure was followed. Improper installation, lack of lubrication on contact points, or worn rotors can also cause squealing.
  • Schleifen: A grinding noise typically indicates metal-on-metal contact, meaning the pads are severely worn and need immediate replacement. It can also indicate a foreign object caught in the caliper.
• Verminderte Bremsleistung:
  • Weiches Pedal: May indicate air in the brake lines, low brake fluid, or a faulty master cylinder. Ensure the system was properly bled after installation.
  • Hard Pedal: Could be a vacuum assist issue or a seized caliper.
  • Fading: Overheating of the brake components, often due to continuous heavy braking or improper break-in.
• Vibrationen beim Bremsen: Often caused by warped brake rotors. Inspect rotors for runout and replace if necessary.

Wenn die Schritte zur Fehlerbehebung das Problem nicht lösen, wenden Sie sich an einen qualifizierten Kfz-Techniker.
