Unusual noises (scratching, chafing
etc.) during braking and/or a noticeable
change of the braking force (stronger or
weaker) are indications that the brake pads are
soiled or worn down. Check the brake pads and
replace them, if necessary
(a)
. Otherwise you risk
further damage, e.g. to the rotor, or even an ac-
cident due to brake failure! If you are in doubt,
contact your CENTURION dealer.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Functional check
Regularly check the lines and connections for
leaks while pulling on the lever
(b)
. Contact your
CENTURION dealer immediately in the event of a
brake liquid leakage. A leak in the brake lines can
render the brake ineffective. Risk of an accident!
Wear and maintenance
Check the pads for wear at regular intervals
(c+d)
by
following the operating instructions of the respective
manufacturer.
G
Loose connections or leaky brake lines
drastically impair the braking effect. If
you find leaks in the brake system or
kinked lines, contact your CENTURION dealer
immediately!
G
If your brake system works with DOT
brake fluid, the latter needs to be re-
placed regularly according to the inter-
vals prescribed by the manufacturer.
A
Do not open the brake lines. Brake fluid
can be very unhealthy and damaging to
the paint if it leaks out.
I
Read in any case the instructions of the
brake manufacturer on this CENTURION
CD-ROM carefully before removing the
wheel or doing any maintenance work. Improper
operation can lead to brake failure.
Mechanical disc brakes
Functional check
The more the brake pads of mechanical disc brakes
wear down, the longer is the brake lever travel.
Regularly check whether you get a positive braking
response before the lever touches the handlebars.
Make sure the brake cables are in sound condition!
G
Damaged cables
(e)
should be replaced
immediately, as they can snap. Risk of
an accident!
