BRAKE SYSTEM
BRAKE FLUID INSPECTION
Always check the brake pedal travel and inspect the brake
fluid reservoir level before each operation. If the fluid level is
low, add DOT 4 brake fluid only.
Brake fluid should be changed every two years. The fluid
should also be changed anytime the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum level, or if
the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir is unknown.
The brake fluid master cylinder reservoir can be accessed
through the left front wheel well.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in Neutral (N).
3. Ensure lift up parking lever security.
4. View the brake fluid level in the reservoir. The level should
be between the MAX and MIN level lines.
5. If the fluid level is lower than the MIN level line, add brake
fluid until it reaches the MAX level line.
6. Install the reservoir cap and apply the brake pedal forcefully
for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the
master cylinder fittings and the brake caliper fittings.
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or plastic
parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.
PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Shift the transmission into neutral (if applicable).
3. Elevate the rear of the vehicle by placing a suitable stand
under the frame. The rear tires should be slightly off the
ground.
4. While rotating the rear wheels, adjust the adjuster nut at the
parking cable.
5. When you begin to feel a slight drag in wheel rotation,
loosen the nut 1~2 full turn.
6. Tighten parking brake lever jammed nut.
