Brake Dust Caution
Caution: Avoid taking the following actions when
you service wheel brake parts:
.. Do not grind brake linings.
• Do not sand brake linings.

brush or with compressed air.
Some models or aftermarket brake parts may
contain asbestos fibers which can become
airborne in dust. Breathing dust with asbestos
fibers may cause serious bodily harm. Use a
water-dampened cloth in order to remove any dust
on brake parts. Equipment is available
commercially in order to perform this washing
function. These wet methods prevent fibers from
becoming airborne.

case of contact, take the following actions:
" Eye contact-rinse thoroughly with water.
• Skin contact-wash with soap and water.
• If ingested-consult a physician immediately.

pipe when replacing brake pipes. The use of any
other pipe is not recommended and may cause
brake system failure. Carefully route and retain
replacement brake pipes. Always use the correct
fasteners and in the original location for
replacement brake pipes. Failure to properly route
and retain brake pipes may cause damage to.
the brake pipes and brake system resulting
in personal injury.

create dust by grinding or sanding the clutch disc
or by cleaning parts with a dry brush or with
compressed air. A water-dampened cloth-NOT
SOAKED---should be used. The clutch disc
contains asbestos fibers which can become
airborne if dust·is created during servicing.
Breathing dust containing asbestos fibers may
cause serious bodily harm.
