Burnishing Brake Pads

Brake pads (both main and auxiliary) must be burnished
to achieve full braking effectiveness. Braking distance
will be extended until brake pads are properly burnished.
To properly burnish the brake pads, use the following
procedure.
Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead to
premature brake pad wear or brake loss. Brake loss can
