4.5 Cleaning the brake disc
PLEASE NOTE
Before installing the brake the disc must be washed clean with white spirit and thereafter with
thinners or tricolour ethylene. Any residual oil or anti-corrosion reparation will reduce the
friction coefficient markedly.
WARNING
Solvent cleaners can be flammable, poisonous and can cause burns. To avoid serious
personal injury, read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before using a solvent cleaner
and follow these instructions. Also wear eye protection, protective clothing and work in well-
ventilated areas.
4.6 Cleaning the mounting surfaces
PLEASE NOTE
The mounting surface for the base plate should be cleaned in a similar way as the brake disc
.
WARNING
Solvent cleaners can be flammable, poisonous and can cause burns. To avoid serious
personal injury, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and see §4.5.
4.7 Handling of brake linings
The brake linings are an essential part of the brake system. They should be handled carefully to avoid
damages or soiling of the friction material.
CAUTION
Brake linings should be kept as clean as possible especially from any kind of grease and oil.
Even a small amount of oil can reduce the friction coefficient and cause a malfunction of the
brake.
Brake linings can be supplied with several lining materials in two different types, depending on the
brake size and/or application. All brake linings supplied by SIBRE are asbestos free and free of lead.
In general two types of lining materials are available:
Organic brake linings size 50 for CB8-E-50
Sinter brake linings size 100 for CB8-E-100
CAUTION
Organic brake linings must be protected against grease and oil, which would significantly
decrease the friction coefficient. Cleaning of organic lining material is not possible. If any
grease or oil comes in contact with organic lining material, the lining must be discarded.
