CAUTION! Before assembling the piston with the pads, make sure the caliper bracket, pads and disc are present.
- Use the lever to assemble the piston with the pads.
CAUTION! Hydraulic operation is only permitted when the piston is less than 1 mm from the pads.
For all types of calipers
1. Connect a transparent tube to the bleeder plug (point 31) on the caliper, the ends of which should be placed in a container to collect any fluid.
2. Open the bleeder plug (point 31).
3. Repeatedly press the vehicle brake pedal until brake fluid starts to flow out of the bleeder plug.
4. Holding down the pedal, close the bleeder plug. Release the pedal, wait a few seconds, then repeat the process until fluid without any air bubbles flows out and until the usual resistance and travel of the brake pedal are restored.
5. Tighten the bleeder plug (point 31) applying the tightening torque specified in the table:
Bleeder plug |
M6x1 |
M8x1,25 |
M10x1 |
M12x1 |
Tightening torque |
5÷7 Nm |
7÷10 Nm |
17÷20 Nm |
18÷22 Nm |
6. Remove the transparent tube.
7. Repeat the bleeding procedure for any other bleeder plugs.
8. After the bleeding process, pull back the pistons in the caliper completely using an appropriate tool (such as a retractor) and then top up the fluid level, as recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Close the brake fluid reservoir cap.
10. With the engine running, apply strong pressure to the vehicle brake pedal and check there are no fluid leaks from the caliper or abnormal pressure losses in the circuit and that the rear brake lights come on.
DANGER! If fluid is leaking from the caliper, repeat all the steps set out in this document to pinpoint the cause and remedy the problem.
For calipers with a parking brake
- Reconnect the wear indicator, where present, to the terminal in the vehicle, securing it with a light pressure to the shim present on the caliper and securing any attachments on the chassis.
- Restore the correct tension to the control cable.
- Repeatedly operate the parking brake lever in the vehicle cab until the usual stroke has been re-established.
1. Remove the protective cap (where present) and connect the electrical supply cable (point 2).
2. Perform the reset procedure (Assembly check).
3. If necessary, reset the counters (Reset Internal Counters) as prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer.
4. If required by the vehicle manufacturer, run in the pads.
5. Disconnect the diagnostics device (On Board Diagnosis - OBD).
For all types of calipers
1. Refit the wheel.
2. If the pads are new, run them in; follow the instructions provided with the spare pads.

Tento výrobok Brembo bol navrhnutý tak, aby spĺňal všetky platné bezpečnostné normy. Výrobky nie sú určené na iné použitie, než na aké boli navrhnuté a vyrobené. Použitie na akýkoľvek iný účel alebo akákoľvek úprava či zásah do výrobku môže ovplyvniť výkonnosť výrobku a môže spôsobiť, že výrobok nebude bezpečný.
Takáto úprava alebo nesprávne používanie spôsobí zánik platnosti obmedzenej záruky a môže viesť k zodpovednosti osoby, ktorá takto používa Výrobok, za zranenie osôb alebo poškodenie majetku iných osôb.
V tomto návode sa pod výstrahou „NEBEZPEČENSTVO!“ rozumejú postupy, ktorých nedodržanie s vysokou pravdepodobnosťou spôsobí vážne zranenie alebo dokonca smrť. „POZOR“ znamená postupy, ktorých nedodržanie môže spôsobiť fyzické zranenie, zatiaľ čo „VAROVANIE!“ znamená postupy, ktorých nedodržanie môže spôsobiť poškodenie vozidla.
NEBEZPEČENSTVO!
Pred začatím výmeny sa uistite, že náhradné diely sú vhodné pre danú značku a model vozidla. Tento výrobok je nevyhnutný pre bezpečnú prevádzku vozidla, na ktorom je nainštalovaný, a je určený na to, aby ho inštalovala len kvalifikovaná osoba, ktorá bola vyškolená a/alebo má skúsenosti s inštaláciou a používaním, na ktoré je výrobok určený.
Inštalatér musí byť vybavený vhodnými nástrojmi pre svoje remeslo a znalosťami a skúsenosťami, aby sa mohol zaoberať opravami vozidla. Nesprávna alebo nevhodná inštalácia, či už spôsobená nedôsledným a neúplným dodržiavaním tohto návodu alebo iným spôsobom, má za následok zánik platnosti obmedzenej záruky a môže viesť k zodpovednosti inštalatéra v prípade zranenia osôb alebo poškodenia majetku.
Spoločnosť Brembo nenesie zodpovednosť za žiadne škody alebo zranenia spôsobené osobe, ktorá prevádzkuje vozidlo, na ktorom bol nesprávne nainštalovaný náhradný výrobok.
Použitý výrobok nahradený týmto výrobkom sa nesmie inštalovať na žiadny iný výrobok. Mohlo by dôjsť k poškodeniu majetku a zraneniu osôb vrátane smrti.
Vždy skontrolujte, či je hladina brzdovej kvapaliny v nádržke medzi minimálnou a maximálnou hladinou uvedenou na nádržke. Nesprávna hladina môže spôsobiť únik brzdovej kvapaliny alebo zníženú účinnosť brzdového systému. Príliš veľa alebo príliš málo brzdovej kvapaliny v nádržke môže spôsobiť, že brzdy nebudú správne fungovať a môže dôjsť k zraneniu osôb vrátane smrti.
UPOZORNENIE!
Vymenené diely sa musia zlikvidovať v súlade so zákonom.
Je nevyhnutné vyhnúť sa prudkým nárazom a/alebo poškodeniu výrobku, jeho častí a komponentov, pretože to môže
znížiť ich účinnosť a môže spôsobiť ich
poruchu. V prípade potreby vymeňte akúkoľvek poškodenú časť alebo komponent. Aby ste predišli zraneniam, odporúčame nasledovné:
- Používajte vhodné vybavenie, aby ste zabránili vdýchnutiu prachu vznikajúceho pri čistení dielov.
- Počas demontáže a montáže súčiastok s ostrými hranami vždy používajte rukavice.
- Nedovoľte, aby sa povrch pokožky dostal do priameho kontaktu s trecím materiálom brzdových doštičiek a čeľustí, pretože by to mohlo spôsobiť odreniny.
- Pri demontáži piestov strmeňa pomocou stlačeného vzduchu nevkladajte ruky do miesta uloženia doštičiek, pretože hrozí riziko rozdrvenia rúk.
- Vyhnite sa priamemu kontaktu s brzdovou kvapalinou, pretože môže spôsobiť podráždenie pokožky a očí. V prípade náhodného kontaktu vykonajte dôkladné vyčistenie podľa pokynov výrobcu vozidla alebo brzdovej kvapaliny.
- Elektrické komponenty nevystavujte elektrostatickým nábojom ani nárazom, ktoré by mohli poškodiť plastové časti.
- Rozložené elektrické komponenty chráňte pred vlhkosťou.
- Zabezpečte správne zapojenie všetkých elektrických kontaktov, skontrolujte, či sa rozsvietili výstražné kontrolky. V opačnom prípade môže nefunkčnosť výstražných svetiel spôsobiť zníženie účinnosti brzdového systému alebo poruchu brzdovej signalizácie.
- Zabráňte kontaktu maziva a iných mazív s brzdnými plochami brzdového kotúča, bubna, doštičiek a čeľustí, pretože by to mohlo ovplyvniť účinnosť brzdového systému a spôsobiť vážne fyzické zranenie.
- Na montáž gumových komponentov nepoužívajte ostré nástroje, pretože by mohlo dôjsť k ich poškodeniu. Uistite sa, že všetky poškodené diely sú vymenené.
