Technician Safety Information

CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING BRAKE PARTS, DO NOT CREATE DUST BY GRINDING OR SANDING BRAKE LININGS, BY CLEANING BRAKE PARTS WITH A DRY BRUSH OR WITH COMPRESSED AIR. MANY EARLIER MODEL OR AFTERMARKET BRAKE PARTS MAY CONTAIN ASBESTOS FIBERS WHICH CAN BECOME AIRBORNE IF DUET IS CREATED DURING SERVICING. BREATHING DUST CONTAINING ASBESTOS FIBERS MAY CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY HARM. A WATER DAMPENED CLOTH OR WATER BASED SOLUTION SHOULD BE USED TO REMOVE ANY DUST ON BRAKE PARTS. EQUIPMENT IS COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THIS WASHING FUNCTION. THESE WET METHODS WILL PREVENT FIBERS FROM BECOMING AIRBORNE.

CAUTION: THE VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT (SIR) SYSTEM. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE CAUTIONS COULD CAUSE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR UNNECESSARY SIR SYSTEM REPAIRS.

CAUTION: Always use double walled steel brake pipe when replacing brake pipes. The use of any other pipe is not recommended and may cause brake system failure. Carefully route and retain replacement brake pipes. Always use the correct fasteners and the original location for replacement brake pipes. Failure to properly route and retain brake pipes may cause damage to the brake pipes and brake system failure.
