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.
