BRAKES
NOTE:
Renew drum, if found outside the limits.
4. Visual inspection of wheel cylinders for brake fluid
leakage is to be performed.
5. Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive
scoring will cause excessive brake lining wear and
it will be necessary to resurface drum-braking
surface.
6. If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved,
drum should be polished with fine emery cloth but
should not be turned.
WARNING:
(a) Do not use compressed air to clean brake
components. Dust from friction materials can be
harmful if inhaled.
(b) Do not use petroleum based fluid as damage will
occur to rubber components.
