Information

The backs of the pad backing plates must not be greased.
Check disc brakes for wear. For details of wear limits, see below

Disc brakes must be clean and free of grease.
The core of the warning contact wire must not be left exposed! It does not matter if the insulation is worn.
If necessary, remove a little brake fluid from the reservoir by suction in order to prevent an overflow when the disc brake pads are pushed back.
Use new repair kit.

Only for standard brake calliper (18-inch, black/green) and only for North America (M-no. 1KV/AV2): Install balancing weights -1- in piston.
