WARNING: USE OF ANY OTHER THAN THE APPROVED DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO BRAKE COMPONENTS AND WILL RENDER THE BRAKES INOPERATIVE.

WARNING: BRAKES CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS. AVOID BREATHING DUST. BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST MAY CAUSE ASBESTOSIS AND CANCER.

BREATHING ASBESTOS DUST IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.

DUST AND DIRT PRESENT ON BRAKE ASSEMBLIES MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS THAT ARE HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH WHEN MADE AIRBORNE BY CLEANING WITH COMPRESSED AIR OR BY DRY BRUSHING.

BRAKE ASSEMBLIES SHOULD BE CLEANED USING A VACUUM CLEANER RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH ASBESTOS FIBERS SUCH AS BRAKE/CLUTCH/SERVICE VACUUM 164-R3600 OR EQUIVALENT. DUST AND DIRT FROM VACUUM SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF IN SUCH A MANNER THAT PREVENT DUST EXPOSURE, SUCH AS SEALED BAGS. THE BAG MUST BE LABELED AS PER OSHA INSTRUCTIONS AND THE TRASH HAULER NOTIFIED AS TO THE BAG'S CONTENTS.

IF A VACUUM SUITABLE FOR ASBESTOS IS NOT AVAILABLE, CLEANING SHOULD BE DONE WET. IF DUST GENERATION IS STILL POSSIBLE, TECHNICIANS SHOULD WEAR GOVERNMENT - APPROVED TOXIC DUST PURIFYING RESPIRATORS.

WARNING: GRINDING OR SANDING ON BRAKE LININGS, PADS, ROTORS, OR DRUMS SHOULD BE DONE ONLY WHILE USING PROPERLY EXHAUST- VENTILATED EQUIPMENT.

OSHA REQUIRES AREAS WHERE ASBESTOS DUST GENERATION IS POSSIBLE TO BE ISOLATED AND POSTED WITH WARNING SIGNS. ONLY TECHNICIANS CONCERNED WITH PERFORMING BRAKE SERVICE SHOULD BE PRESENT IN THE AREA.
