Taylor-Dunn does not currently supply asbestos fiber-brake pads/
shoes with any vehicle. However, there is the possibility that the
original brake pads/shoes were replaced with aftermarket pads/shoes
containing asbestos. Since this possibility does exist, the brake pads/
shoes should be handled as if they do contain asbestos.
Never use compressed air or dry brush to clean the brake assemblies.
Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleaner or any alternate method
approved by OSHA to minimize the hazard caused by airborne
asbestos fibers and brake dust.
Do not grind, sand, break, or chisel the brake pads/shoes, as this will
cause unnecessary dust, possibly releasing asbestos fibers in the air.
Always wear protective clothing and a respirator when working on
the brake pads/shoes or their associated components.
Inhaled asbestos fibers have been found to cause cancer and
respiratory diseases.
Do not drive the vehicle if any worn or broken part is detected in any
part of the brake system. The cause of the damage must be repaired
immediately.
