General Maintenance
6.12
Brake Pad Inspection
The brake pads must be inspected when specified in the
maintenance schedule, see page 6.2. Visually inspect the brakes
by looking at the remaining brake pad material through the sides
of the brake caliper.
Replace the brake pads if either pad’s thickness is 0.053 in
(1.35 mm) or less. If the brake pads (A) are worn, replace both
brake pads immediately.
Brake Disc Inspection
The thickness of the brake discs should be checked regularly.
The minimum thickness is 0.14 in (3.50 mm).
Brake Pad Replacement
Bedding in new brake pads and/or new brake discs is
recommended to ensure proper brake performance and
maximize brake life. Proper bedding improves brake pedal/lever
feel and reduces or eliminates brake squeal. Bedding in the
brakes is a process of depositing an even layer of pad material
on the surface of the brake disc.
