Brake Pad: Testing and Inspection

Since both the footbrake and handbrake are self-adjusting, it is not possible to judge whether the brake pads are worn from the amount of pedal or handbrake lever travel. It is therefore essential to remove the wheels and inspect the thickness of the pads at regular intervals as specified in the service programmed.

The brake pads should be changed when the thickness of the friction material is down to 4 mm (0. 16 inch).
