specification.

chapter.
4. Install wheel and torque wheel nuts to specification.

5. Slowly pump the brake pedal until pressure has been built
up. Maintain enough of brake fluid in the reservoir to prevent
air from entering the brake system.
BRAKE BURNISHING PROCEDURE
It is required that a burnishing procedure be performed after
installation of new brake pads to extend service life and reduce
noise. Start machine and slowly increase speed to 30 mph.
Gradually apply brakes to stop machine. Allow pads and disc
to cool sufficiently during the procedure. Do not allow pads or
disc to become hot or warping may result. Repeat this
procedure 10 times.
PAD REMOVAL
1. Elevate and support rear of vehicle.
Use care when supporting vehicle so that it
does not tip or fall. Severe injury may occur if
machine tips or falls.
2. Remove the two caliper mounting bolts and lift caliper off
the brake disc.
NOTE: When removing caliper, be careful not to
damage brake line. Support caliper so as not to kink
or bend brake line.
3. Push caliper piston into the caliper bore slowly and remove
caliper from swing arm.
