WARNING
To prevent property damage, personal injury,
and / or death, always check and maintain
brakes in proper condition and adjustment.
Out-of-adjustment brakes could cause reduced
braking ability.
All new International
®
vehicles use non-asbestos brake linings.
However, exposure to excessive amounts of brake material dust
may be a potentially serious health hazard.
Follow these precautions:
•
Always wear a respirator approved by National Institute of
Occupational Studies of Health (NIOSH) or Mine Safety
and Appliance (MSA) during all brake service procedures.
Wear the respirator from removal of the wheels through
assembly.
•
Never
use compressed air or dry brushing to clean brake
parts or assemblies.
•
Clean brake parts and assemblies in the open air. During
disassembly, carefully place all parts on the floor to
avoid getting dust into the air. Use an industrial vacuum
cleaner with a HEPA filter system to clean dust from the
brake drums, backing plates, and other brake parts. After
using the vacuum, remove any remaining dust with a rag
soaked in water and wrung until nearly dry.
•
Never
use compressed air or dry sweeping to clean
the work area. Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a
HEPA filter system and rags soaked in water and wrung
until nearly dry. Dispose of used rags with care to avoid
getting dust into the air. Use an approved respirator when
emptying vacuum cleaners and handling used rags.
•
Worker cleanup.
Wash your hands before eating,
drinking, or smoking. Vacuum your work clothes after
use and then launder them separately, without shaking
them, to prevent fiber dust from getting into the air.
