25.7 Wear and maintenance
The following components in particular are subject to wear, based on the method of
operation and the design of the disc brake:
- brake pads,
- brake discs,
- brake fluid (hydraulic),
- brake cables on the disc brake, if fitted.
• Check the brake pads, brake discs and brake cables, if fitted, regularly for signs of wear.
• Contact your specialist dealer
- if you are unsure or do not know how to recognise or comply with the wear limit of
components.
- to have the disc brake hydraulics checked and serviced, if necessary.
- to have wear parts replaced and then have the disc brake re-adjusted.
25.8 Cleaning and care
Keep all disc brake components free from dirt or clean the components regularly to ensure
that the disc brake continues to function correctly or to prevent any reduction in the braking
power of the disc brake.
• Clean any soiled components with a damp cloth.
• In particular, wash the brake discs regularly with warm water to keep them free from
(persistent) dirt.
