Do not use a brake drum that
is worn beyond its service
limits. A drum worn beyond
its service limits could fail and
cause loss of brakes resulting
in severe bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Current Taylor-Dunn
®
brakes are asbestos free. However, there is the
possibility that the original brakes were replaced with aftermarket
parts containing asbestos. Since this possibility exists, all brake parts
should be handled as if they contain asbestos. Refer to appendix C
for recommended handling precautions.

Brake Drum (Dana)
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately measure the brake drum.
Refer to Tires and Wheels section for information on removing
the wheel.
The service limit for the inside diameter of the brake drum is 6.330 inches.
If the brake drum is grooved or worn beyond the service limit then the brake drum must be replaced.
Measure the inside diameter of the brake drum in 3-places.
If the difference between any of the measurements exceeds 0.010-inches then the brake drum must be
replaced.
Brake Shoes
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately measure the brake shoes.
Refer to Tires and Wheels section for information on removing
the wheel.
Measure the brake shoe lining at the thinnest point on the
shoe. If this is 1/16-inch or less then the brake shoe must
be replaced.
NOTE:
If this is a riveted lining, then the
measurement must be to the top of the
rivets.
It is recommended to replace the left and right side brake
shoes as a set.
