Using a pneumatic line, blow out any debris
from under the brake pole and around the
brake spacers.

Torque each bolt (M6 x 1) to 12.3 to 13.7
N∙m (9.5 to 10.5 ft-lb).
E.
Using a 0.25 mm (0.01 inch) thick feeler
gauge, verify that a gap is present between
the rotor and the armature face on both
sides of the brake pole as shown in
81
and
Figure
Note:
Due to the way the rotor and the
armature faces wear (peaks and valleys) it
is sometimes difficult to measure the gap
accurately.

If the gap is less than 0.25 mm (0.01
inch), then install the shim; refer to

If the gap is sufficient, proceed to the
safety check in step F.
