General
To obtain maximum service life, it is important to use only the
specifi ed lubricants for the lubrication points concerned.
Apply the correct amounts. To prevent the lubricant from being
dispersed or causing damage during the natural movements
of the brake (e.g., on friction surface of pads, on brake disc, in
boots and bellows, etc.), do not apply excessive amounts of
lubricant.
Adjustment Mechanism
The adjustment mechanism is lubricated and sealed for life in
the factory.
Slide Pins and Bushings
Lubricate the slide pins and bushings sparingly during assembly.
See the section of "Specifi cations" for selection of the lubricant.
Use only the specifi ed lubricant.
