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.
