CAUTION: When servicing brake parts, do not create dust by grinding or sanding brake linings, by cleaning brake parts with a dry
brush or with compressed air. Many earlier models or aftermarket brake parts may contain asbestos fibers which can become airborne if
dust is created during servicing. Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may cause serious bodily harm. A water dampened cloth or
water based solution should be used to remove any dust on brake parts. Equipment is commercially available to perform this washing
function. These wet methods will prevent fibers from becoming airborne.
NOTICE: Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. Shop cloths and clean containers should be used to prevent spillage of brake fluid
