F INAL A DJUSTMENTS AND T ESTS
1 Verify the dyno is set up properly, the hardware stack is powered up and
operational, and the air supply is connected properly.
2 Verify the brake is off; the red light on the pendant should be off.
3 Fill the master cylinder with DOT 5 brake fluid.
4 Open the bleeder valve on the caliper assembly and use the red brake button on
the pendant to activate the brake. You should see fluid and air being purged from
the bleeder valve. Repeat this procedure until the system is completely bled.
5 If you find you are not getting sufficient brake performance, adjust the spring rod
nuts to increase the spring pressure.
5a
Loosen the jam nut.
5b Place the jam nut flush with the end of the spring rod and insert a
screwdriver into the slot on the end of the spring rod.
5c Tighten the adjuster nut until the springs begin to overcome the force of the
air pushing against them.
5d Once the adjuster nut is in place, snug the jam nut up to the adjuster nut.
5e Test the brake several more times to verify the brake pads return far enough
to clear the rotor.
6 Use the red brake button on the pendant to activate and deactivate the brake.
Listen for air leaks and double check all connections.
7 Adjust the clearance between the pads and the rotor by loosening the jam nut and
turning the adjuster nut on the caliper assembly. There should be equal space on
both sides of the rotor. Refer to Figure 3-41 for more information on the caliper
assembly jam and adjuster nuts.
Note: Cycle the brake to verify the brake pads release far enough and do not
touch the rotor. If the pads touch the rotor during a run, the information
provided by the dyno will be inaccurate.
8 Replace the hood. Refer to “Removing and Replacing the Hood” on page 3-3.
