Brake Pad: Service Precautions

Risk of Accident:
- When commissioning the vehicle due to a lack of braking effect when the service brake is operated for the first time after repair work.
Before commissioning the vehicle, operate the brake pedal several times until the pressure in the brake system is built up and maintained.
- Operate the brake pedal several times until the brake pads contact the brake discs (firm resistance detectable).

Risk of Poisoning:
- Risk of poisoning due to consuming brake fluid. Risk of injury due to brake fluid coming into contact with the skin and eyes.
Only pour brake fluid into suitable, appropriately marked containers. Wear protective clothing and safety glasses when handling brake fluid.
