Disc Brake System
The thickness of the new discs is 45 mm.
Discs shall be replaced when the thickness
becomes lower than 39 mm. Check the
disc thickness every three months as the
service life of the disc shall di er greatly
due to causes such as vehicle load,
operating conditions etc. Inspect the disc
surface against cracks during thickness
inspection.
Replace the disc if the cracks on the
surface has reached air ducts or grown
up to 25% of the lining pressure surface.
Cracks that have not grown up to 25% of
the surface do not a ect the performance,
you may continue to use the disc.
Blue areas on the disc surfaces indicate
that they have been subject to excessive
heating. We recommend you to machine
the disc as the structure of these areas
have been deformed. Linings that have
been subject to excessive heating shall
also be replaced.
