BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING! Air Disc Brakes Do not use any replacement part in the brake system unless it conforms exactly to original specifications. A nonconforming part in your vehi- cle's brake system could cause a malfunction resulting in an accident causing death or personal injury. Sizes and types are so related to one another that a seemingly unim- portant change in one may result in a change in how well the brakes work for you on the road. If parts do not work together properly, you could lose control of your vehicle, which could cause a serious acci- dent. WARNING! Do not use brake linings with a thick- ness below the specified minimum.
Such linings will have lining rivets exposed that can damage the brake drum and reduce brake efficiency, which could cause death, personal injury or system failure. Have brake pads inspected by a qualified mechanic for wear at regular intervals according to the Preventive Maintenance Schedule on page 5-12. In severe service or off-highway applications inspect the linings more frequently. Regularly inspect for pad/rotor wear: Park on level ground and chock the wheels. Temporarily release the parking brakes. 5 Compare the relative position of two notches; one located on the caliper and the other on the carrier.
See the illustration below to determine if the brakes require a detailed inspection by a qualified mechanic. All vehicle operators should check their brakes regularly. (03/17) Y53-6077-1B1 5-67
