Brake Inspection
WARNING
Do not apply WD-40® or any petroleum product
to brake discs. These types of products are flammable and may also
reduce the friction between the brake pad and caliper.
To inspect the brakes, do the following:
-
Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
-
Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel.
-
Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness.
-
Check brake discs for signs of cracks, excessive corrosion, warping or other damage. Clean any grease using an approved brake cleaner or alcohol.
-
Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. Change pads 1 when worn to .030” (0.762 mm).
