DO NOT CLEAN BRAKE AND CLUTCH ASSEMBLIES BY DRY BRUSHING OR WITH COMPRESSED AIR. DUST AND DIRT

WHEN MADE AIRBORNE.
-
Some after market brakes contain asbestos fibers. Avoid breathing dust. Breathing asbestos dust may cause asbestosis and cancer.
Breathing asbestos dust is hazardous to your health.
-
Dust and dirt present on wheel brake and clutch assemblies may contain asbestos fibers that are health hazards when made airborne
by cleaning with compressed air or by dry brushing. Wheel brake assemblies and clutch facings should be cleaned using a vacuum
cleaner recommended for use with asbestos fibers such as automobile asbestos brake drum system with vacuum 164-R3622 or
equivalent.
-
Dust and dirt from a vacuum should be disposed of in such a manner that prevent dust exposure, such as sealed bags. The bag must be
labeled as per Occupational Safety And Health Administration (OSHA) instructions and the trash hauler notified as to the bag's
contents.
-
If a vacuum suitable for asbestos is not available, cleaning should be done wet. If dust generation is still possible, technicians should
wear government-approved toxic dust-purifying respirators.
-
Grinding or sanding on brake linings pads, rotors, drums or clutch facing's should be done only while using properly
exhaust-ventilated equipment. OSHA requires areas where asbestos dust generation is possible to be isolated and posted with warning
signs. Only technicians concerned with performing brake or clutch service should be present in the area.
