5. Carefully check the entire hydraulic brake system

that all hose connections are tight, the bleed screws

are tight, the protective caps are installed, and no

leakage is present.

INSPECTING HOSES

Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses for cracks or

other damage. If found, the brake hoses must be replaced.

CHECKING/REPLACING PADS

The clearance between the brake pads and brake discs is

adjusted automatically as the brake pads wear. The only

maintenance that is required is replacement of the brake

pads when they show excessive wear. Check the thick-

ness of each of the brake pads as follows.



NOTE: As brake pads wear, it may be necessary to

“top-off” the brake fluid in the reservoir.

1. Remove a front wheel.

2. Measure the thickness of each brake pad.

3. If thickness of either brake pad is less than 1.0 mm

(0.039 in.), the brake pads must be replaced.

PR376B



NOTE: The brake pads should be replaced as a set.

4. To replace the brake pads, use the following procedure.

A. Remove the wheel.

B. Remove the cap screws securing the caliper

holder to the knuckle; then remove the pads.

PR237

C. Install the new brake pads.

D. Secure the caliper to the knuckle and/or axle

housing with new “patch-lock” cap screws.

Tighten to 20 ft-lb.

PR377B

E. Install the wheel. Tighten to 40 ft-lb (steel

wheels) or 80 ft-lb (aluminum wheels).

5. Burnish the brake pads (see Burnishing Brake Pads

in this section).

Burnishing Brake Pads

Brake pads (both main and auxiliary) must be burnished

to achieve full braking effectiveness. Braking distance

will be extended until brake pads are properly burnished.

To properly burnish the brake pads, use the following

procedure.

1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate the

ATV to 30 mph and to brake to a stop.

2. Accelerate to 30 mph; then compress brake lever or

apply the auxiliary brake to decelerate to 0-5 mph.

3. Repeat procedure on each brake system twenty

times.

CAUTION

This hydraulic brake system is designed to use DOT 4
brake fluid only. If brake fluid must be added, care must
be taken as brake fluid is very corrosive to painted sur-
faces.

! WARNING

Failure to properly burnish the brake pads could lead to
premature brake pad wear or brake loss. Brake loss can
result in severe injury.
