WARNING: Before vehicle is moved after any brake service work, be sure to obtain a firm brake pedal.
ASBESTOS DUST
WARNING: Breathing asbestos dust can cause permanent lung damage.
Many manufacturers still use asbestos in the construction of brake linings. If you are in doubt as to the construction of your brake linings, always assume it contains asbestos.
Do not inhale dust from brakes or associated components. Inhalation of brake dust can be hazardous to your health.
Do not use compressed air or brushes to clean brakes or associated components.
Use a commercially produced brake cleaning fluid to remove all traces of brake dust.
BRAKE FLUID
Glycol based brake fluid (DOT 3, DOT 4) is a controlled waste and should be disposed of properly.
- Used brake fluid should not be drained into the sewer system or storm drains.
- Used brake fluid should be taken to the nearest waste disposal facility.
- Do not mix used brake fluid with other fluids. Generally, waste disposal facilities will not accept used motor oil or engine coolant when mixed with brake fluid.
- Used brake fluid should never be reused.
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for fifteen minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
