Brakes

INSPECT THE SERVICE BRAKE

WARNING
This section is one section of a complete service
manual. Before starting any procedure, read all
warnings and instructions that are located in the
Service Guidelines chapter.

Disc Brake Pads

Note: The brake pad must be removed to
accurately measure the lining thickness.
Refer to Replace the Front or Rear Brake
Pads section for information on removing
the brake pads.
Measure the brake pad lining at the thinnest point on the
pad. If the brake pad lining is 1/16-inch or less then the
brake pad must be replaced.
It is recommended to replace the left and right side brake
pads as a set.

Disc Brake Rotor

Note: The front brake rotor is an integral part of the
front hub. If the brake rotor is worn beyond
its service limits, then the front hub must be
replaced. Refer to Front Axle Service for
information on replacing the front hub.
Note: Depending on the rear axle configuration,
the rear brake rotor may be an integral part
of the rear axle. If the brake rotor is worn
beyond its service limits, then the rear axle
must be replaced. Refer to Transmission
section for information regarding replacing
the rear axle
Note: The wheel must be removed to accurately
measure the rotor thickness. Refer to Tires
and Wheels section for information on
removing the wheel.

WARNING
Current Taylor-Dunn® brakes are asbestos free.
However, there is the possibility that the original
brakes were replaced with aftermarket parts
containing asbestos. Since this possibility exists,
all brake parts shall be handled as if they contain
asbestos. Refer to appendix C for recommended
handling precautions.
WARNING
Do not use a rotor that is worn beyond its service
limits. A rotor worn beyond its service limits could
fail and cause loss of brakes resulting in severe bodily
injury and/or property damage.
1: Measure the run out of the rotor at its maximum
diameter. If the run out exceeds 0.005, then the
rotor must be machined. Do not machine the rotor
beyond its service limits.
Note: A bent axle or damaged rear axle could
cause excessive brake rotor run out.
2: Measure the thickness of the brake rotor in 3
places. If the brake rotor thickness is less than
0.20-inches, then the rotor must be replaced.
Rotor removed for clarity. The rotor does not have
to be removed for this procedure.
