Brake Wear
WARNING
If the brake pad wears too much, the brake will be disabled.
Suggested check cycle
•
Every 3 months after install in the first 6 months.
•
Every 1 year afterwards.
Benchmark Criteria
•
Check the brake for flexibility, the brake pad and traction sheave for wear, and the
bearings. Replace worn and damaged parts when necessary.
•
As the brake pad wears it adds to the air gap and could contribute to braking noise. You
may adjust the air gap as detailed in Section 5.3.
•
If brake pad wear is excessive replace the brake pad or replace the entire brake
assembly. See Figure 15.
