Brakes

Disc Brake Rotor
NOTE: The front brake rotor is an integral part of the
front hub. If the brake rotor is worn beyond
its service limits, then the front hub must be
replaced. Refer to
Front Axle Service
for
information on replacing the front hub.
NOTE: Depending on the rear axle configuration, the
rear brake rotor may be an integral part of
the rear axle. If the brake rotor is worn beyond
its service limits, then the rear axle must be
replaced. Refer to
Transmission
section
for information regarding replacing the rear
axle
NOTE: The wheel must be removed to accurately
measure the rotor thickness. Refer to
Tires
and Wheels
section for information on
removing the wheel.
1. Measure the run out of the rotor at its maximum
diameter. If the run out exceeds 0.005, then the
rotor must be machined. Do not machine the rotor
beyond its service limits.
NOTE: A bent axle or damaged rear axle could cause
excessive brake rotor run out.
2. Measure the thickness of the brake rotor in 3
places. If the brake rotor thickness is less than
0.20-inches, then the rotor must be replaced.
Disc Brake Pads
NOTE: The brake pad must be removed to accurately
measure the
lining thickness.
Refer to
Replace
the Front or
Rear Brake
Pads
section for
information on
removing the
brake pads.
Measure the brake pad
lining at the thinnest point
on the pad. If the brake
pad lining is 1/16-inch or
less then the brake pad
must be replaced.
It is recommended to
replace the left and right
side brake pads as a set.
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.
Do not use a rotor that is worn beyond its
service limits. A rotor worn beyond its
service limits could fail and cause loss of
brakes resulting in severe bodily injury
and/or property damage.
