Disc Rotor Fitting
Instructions
The Brake Disc Rotor is a safety
critical component.
The replacement of the Disc Rotor is
necessary when the braking surfaces are deeply scored or the minimum
thickness is below the one indicated on the rim of each disc rotor and
on the catalogue.
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
To fit the Disc Rotor, the following
operations must be applied accurately:
-
Clean the new Disc Rotor with a
suitable solvent to remove the anticorrosion protection oil.
-
Make sure that the surfaces of the
coupling, either wheel hub or axle shaft, are clean, without burrs
and bruises.
-
Check the run out of the mounted Disc
Rotor, which should not exceed 0.15 mm.
IMPORTANT
Always replace Disc Rotors in pairs to
ensure a matched performance. Replacing only one Brake Disc Rotor can
be dangerous, causing “out of balance” when the brakes are
applied.
Always fit new brake pads with new Disc
Rotors.
Avoid excessive or high speed braking
until the Disc Rotor and pads have had a chance to “bed-in”
to avoid heat spots and the subsequent reduction in braking
efficiency.
A recommended distance of 200 – 300
kilometres is recommended for running in purposes.
REMEMBER
Brake pads and Brake Disc Rotors are
safety critical components and regular inspections are essential for
your safety.
