Pad Inspection
1. Clean the caliper with brake cleaner or alcohol.

pads if worn beyond the service limit.
Pad Assembly / Installation
1. Lubricate mounting bracket pins with a light film of
silicone grease and install rubber dust boots.
2. Compress mounting bracket and make sure dust
boots are fully seated. Install pads with friction
material facing each other.
3. Install caliper and torque bolts to specification.

up. Maintain at least 1/2, (12.7 mm) of brake fluid in
reservoir to prevent air from entering brake system.

stationary pad contacts disc, then back off 1/2 turn.

inside reservoir and install reservoir cap.

Brake Burnishing Procedure
It is required that a burnishing procedure be performed
after installation of new brake pads to extend service life
and reduce noise.
Start machine and slowly increase speed to 30 mph.
Gradually apply brakes to stop machine. Allow pads and
disc to cool sufficiently during the procedure. Do not
allow pads or disc to become hot or warping may result.
Repeat this procedure 10 times.
Do not make more
than 3 stops per 1 mile (1.6 km) .
