NOTICE P1: "Remove power from the machine" means use the necessary safety procedure for
your location. In the USA, this is the OSHA lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedure. More local
requirements can also apply.
You can do these types of maintenance on the disk brake:
• do an inspection of the brake as specified in the maintenance schedule,
• replace the friction pads,
• do an overhaul on the calipers,
• replace the hydraulic fluid,
• adjust the connection between the brake cylinder and the air cylinder.
For the first four types of maintenance, you must remove air from (bleed) the hydraulic circuit.
Section 6 tells how to operate the disk brakes. You can use it in some of the types of maintenance
in this procedure.
WARNING 2 : Risk of injury or death
—A machine in operation without safety guards is
dangerous.
• You must be an approved maintenance technician.
• Use special caution when this instruction tells you to do work with electrical power on.
Remove power from the machine for all other maintenance. Obey safety codes.
• Replace all guards and covers.
Tip:
During parts of this procedure when you open up the calipers or hydraulic lines, put a cloth under
the calipers to catch hydraulic fluid and parts that will fall. For safety, fully remove spilled
hydraulic fluid after brake maintenance. This will help you easily identify leaks.
