BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE
It is required that a burnishing procedure be performed
after installation of new brake pads to extend service life
and reduce noise.
Start machine and slowly increase speed to 30 mph.
Gradually apply brakes to stop machine. Allow pads and
disc to cool sufficiently during the procedure. Do not
allow pads or disc to become hot or warping may result.
Repeat this procedure 10 times.
