SERVICE NOTES - BRAKE SYSTEM
CAUTION
Always wear safety glasses.
IMPORTANT
Brake fluid will damage finished surfaces.Do not allow
brake fluid to come in contact with finished surfaces.
Disc brake systems are light weight, low maintenance,
and perform well in the conditions this vehicle will
routinely encounter. There are a few things to remember
when replacing disc brake pads or performing brake
system service to ensure proper system function and
maximum pad service life.
• DO NOT over-fill the master cylinder fluid reservoir.
• Make sure the brake pedal returns freely and
completely.
• Adjust the caliper stop pin after pad service.
• Check and adjust master cylinder reservoir fluid level
after pad service.
• Make sure atmospheric vent on reservoir is
unobstructed.
• Test for brake drag after any brake system service and
investigate cause if brake drag is evident.
• Make sure caliper moves freely on guide pins (where
applicable).
• Inspect caliper piston seals for foreign material that
could prevent caliper pistons from returning freely.
• Perform a brake burnishing procedure after installing
new pads to maximize service life.
• DO NOT lubricate or clean the brake components with
aerosol or petroleum products. Use only approved
brake cleaning products.
