8.1.1 Break-in Procedure
After start-up, prior to any runs, take the time to properly break-in your brake system by
bedding your brake pads. Failure to do so may result in loss of control of your vehicle,
potentially causing serious damage as well as injury or death.
Make nine total stops, three from 30 mph, then three from 50 mph, and finally three
from 75 mph.
Allow the brakes to cool slightly between each of the three runs, without applying
pressure to the brake pedal. After the last stop, allow the brakes to completely cool
before making an initial run in your vehicle.
8.1.2 Proportioning Valve
With the valve rotated clockwise until fully seated, the rear calipers will have full
pressure. With the valve rotated counterclockwise fully out, the rear caliper pressure will
be reduced to 43%. The vehicle is delivered with a setting of 3.5 rotations
counterclockwise from fully seated.
