DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
| WARNING | Dust and dirt accumulating on brake parts during normal use may contain asbestos fibers from production or aftermarket linings. Breathing excessive concentrations of asbestos fibers can cause serious bodily harm. Exercise care when servicing brake parts. DO NOT clean brake parts with compressed air or by dry brushing. Use a vacuum cleaner specifically designed for the removal of asbestos fibers from brake components. If a suitable vacuum cleaner is not available, cleaning should be done with a water damped cloth. DO NOT sand, or grind brake lining unless equipment used is designed to contain the dust residue. Dispose of all residue containing asbestos fibers in sealed bags or containers. Follow practices prescribed by the occupational safety and health administration and the environmental protection agency for the handling, processing, and disposition of dust or debris that may contain asbestos fibers. |
| CAUTION | DO NOT use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, motor oil, transmission fluid, or any fluid containing mineral oil to clean the system components. These fluids damage rubber cups and seals. Use only fresh brake fluid or Mopar brake cleaner to clean or flush brake system components. These are the only cleaning materials recommended. If system contamination is suspected, check the fluid for dirt, discoloration, or separation into distinct layers. Also check the reservoir cap seal for distortion. Drain and flush the system with new brake fluid if contamination is suspected. |
Note. For information on Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS), see appropriate ANTI-LOCK article.
