GENERAL GUIDELINES AND SAFETY
This section is one section of a complete service
manual. Before starting any procedure, read all
warnings and instructions that are located in the
Service Guidelines chapter.
WARNING
Taylor-Dunn does not currently supply asbestos
ber-brake pads/shoes with any vehicle. However,
there is the possibility that the original brake pads/
shoes were replaced with aftermarket pads/shoes
containing asbestos. Since this possibility does exist,
the brake pads/shoes should be handled as if they
do contain asbestos.
Never use compressed air or dry brush to clean the
brake assemblies. Use an OSHA approved vacuum
cleaner or any alternate method approved by OSHA
to minimize the hazard caused by airborne asbestos
bers and brake dust.
Do not grind, sand, break, or chisel the brake pads/
shoes, as this will cause unnecessary dust, possibly
releasing asbestos bers in the air.
Always wear protective clothing and a respirator
when working on the brake pads/shoes or their
associated components.
Inhaled asbestos bers have been found to cause
cancer and respiratory diseases.
Do not drive the vehicle if any worn or broken part is
detected in any part of the brake system. The cause
of the damage must be repaired immediately.
