callipers (rear)

4 Calliper body
5 Silicon hose
● Straighten the ends of the pin (1) and then remove it.
● Remove the used brake pads (2).
● Push the four pistons (3) back into the calliper body (4).
● Place the new pads (2) in position.
● Place the new pin (1) and the hose, and then twist its
ends.
● Do not operate the brake lever or pedal
unless pads are installed. This would make the
pistons difficult to return to their position, and
brake fluid leaks might then occur.
► Check the pads for wear before every start-
up.
► Never drive with excessively worn pads
(minimum thickness for the D28 2-pistons
callipers (rear): 8 mm).
► The brake is an essential safety element. If
the braking system is defective or you have
the slightest doubt, do not put the kart in
service.

● The brake fluid hoses are a critical safety element. It is
very important to check their state regularly.
● Check the state of the hoses especially at connecting
points and fixation points.
● Replace any damaged hose.
● Use a spanner to loosen the screw at each end of the
hose and the mounting points on the kart.
● Install a new hose with new seals and banjo screws.
● Ensure that the mounts securing the hoses to the kart are
properly tightened.
► The brake is an essential safety element.
Do not put the kart in operation if the break
system is faulty or if you have a doubt.
► Faulty braking system may lead to a serious
or even fatal injury.
► Check the connections of hoses, a leak could
cause fatal injuries.
► Use brake fluid DOT 4 only.
