→ Replace the brake pads when the brake pad wear indicator light comes on, but no later than when there is a residual pad thickness of 2 mm on each axle.

→ Replace the brake discs on each axle as soon as the brake pad wear limit is reached.

→ Fit new expanding spring, new retaining pin and securing clip on the brake calliper.

• Do not grease the back of the disc brake pad.
• Check disc brakes for wear. For details of wear limits, see → 4600TW TECHNICAL DATA/BRAKE WEAR LIMIT .
