ROTOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & BREAK IN PROCEDURE
**PLEASE READ BEFORE USING THIS PART**

• Do not turn or machine this rotor prior to installation.   

• Do not use impact wrenches under any circumstances.

• New brake pads must be used when installing POWER STOP rotors.  Recommended pads,
  compatible for use with POWER STOP rotors are REPCO/AXXIS   "Metal Master" for imports
  and POWER STOP "9-1-1 Extreme Performance" for domestic vehicles.

• Use a reproductable service manual and follow the regular brake replacement proceedures.

• Remove the caliper assembly without dissconecting hydrolic brake lines if possible.
  Examine caliper for leaks, seized pistons, broken dust boots, rust etc...Replace or repair if necessary.
  Otherwise suspend caliper from frame or vehicle with wire or hook.  Take extra care not to
  stain hydrolic crossover line.  Remove any rust or dust from the caliper using a wire brush
  being careful not to damage piston or rubber boot. clean all brake parts with a safe solvent.

• POWER STOP rotors are undirectional.  Be sure to check the last initial of the part number
  (LorR), to determine left or right.

• POWER STOP reccomends that you flush your brake fluid and bleed the entire system
  with  a high grade DOT 4 or better fluid.

• Depress the brake pedal several times before driving the vehicle, which will properly position
  the brake pads and establish the pedal height.  Some vehicles may have a very low pedal
  untill pads become completely seated.  After determining the installation was correctly
  and safely carried out, test drive the vehicle.  During testing , make several stops at safe
  speeds to be sure that the system is correctly installed and working properly.

• Avoid excessive or high speed braking until the brake pads and POWER STOP rotors
  seat in.  This will take approximately 200-500 miles.
  NOT FOLLOWING BRAKE IN PROCEEDURES WILL SEVERLY EFFECT THE
  PREFORMANCE OF THE POWER STOP SYSTEM.   

• Remember your brakes are the most crucial component of your car,  regular inspections
  are essential for continued safety.

• Under heavy braking conditions a slight whirring noise might be detectable.  A solid brake
  disk may produce more noise than a vented brake rotor, this noice is normal.

• Please remember that your brake system should not be taken lightly.  It is the most
  important component of your car. If you are unclear about any part of the installation,
  Please consult a certified mechanic.  Your safety depends on the proper functioning
  of the brake system.

• Cross-drilled rotors are a performance upgrade part.  Under normal and spirited  driving
  they should out perform your car's factory brakes. But with any brake systems, abusive
  driving will result in premature pads and rotor wear.  POWER STOP can only be responsible
  for factory defects in the rotors. 

POWER STOP ROTORS ARE FOR STREET AND RECREATIONAL OFFROAD USE ONLY.
THEY ARE NOT DESIGNED OR APPROVED FOR OFF ROAD RACING,
OR COMPETITION DRIVING.
