"Breaksystem relocated"

 

 

After the batteries for the motor had been moved  into the cabine,
now the breaksystem was relocated .

 

The air tanks were dismounted and the support frame grinded off. The hoses of the air-brake system got markers

 

The plan was to move the airtanks, air dryer and the 4-circuit brake safety valve to the right side, were all would just fit between the flexible cardan shaft, frame and staircase. So I welded a support for the air tank belts.

 

Were the support is fixed with screws to the frame insert shells were welded in, to prevent that the steel gets deformed, when the screws are fixed tight (and afterwards eventually the screws loosen).  

 

When I made the „fit test“ of the air tanks I unfortunately realized that the motorized stairs hit the air tank when it is slid in. So I had to give 5 cm more space (thats why the final support look different to the top picture). Finally the parts were galvanised. The big unit takes the air dryer and the 4-circuit brake safety valve on the left is a socket for the 24V Nato-plug, which will be mounted on the cabine, next to the drivers cabine.

 

This is a look from the rear wheel onto the air tanks, mounted with the new air tank belts to my support construction. On the right you see the pantograph mechanism of the stair which wasn’t in drive position when I tested the fit the first time and therefore hit the tanks with the first edition of the support.

 

A different point of view:

 

The air dryer and the 4-circuit brake safety valve:

 

And as well this from a different angle. The professional mechanic, who helped me was paying similar to me as well attention that the „look“ is nice:

 

And this is the now the left side: Lots of space!
