Service Brake Bedding in Procedure
Bedding in of the service brakes is recommended by the
brake pad manufacturer to obtain maximum performance
and wear from the brake pads. When new service brake pads
have been installed, the following procedure will need to be
completed. Please include this procedure immediately after
service pads have been replaced.
1. Ensure that the service brake system has been bled to
provide maximum braking.
2.Forthisprocedureselectanareathatisopenandat,such
as an empty parking lot.
3. Drive the Argo at a speed of approximately 20kph. While

MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
Argo to a full stop (unless required for safety reasons).
Bringing the ARGO to a full stop when the brakes are
hot may cause the brake pad to imprint itself on the
rotor. If this happens it will cause vibration and poor
brake performance.
4. Repeat step 3 a total of 10 times. Do not wait between
cycles to let brakes cool.
Brake components will be extremely hot at this point.
After the 10 cycles are complete, shut down the ARGO and
allow the brakes to cool down. When brakes have cooled,
repeat steps 3 and 4. The bedding procedure is now complete.
The brakes may smell, and some smoke could be present.
