Brakes are a critical safety component
of the machine. Closely inspect them at the
recommended service interval to ensure optimum
performance and safety.

Check the brake lining for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than 1.6 mm
(1/16 inch), replace the brake lining.
•
Check the backing plate and other components for
signs of excessive wear or deformation. Replace
any deformed components.
