BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is located under the hood (Figure 10b-4, Page 10b-7) . Raise the hood to check
the brake fluid level.
When checking the brake fluid, also inspect the following:
• The presence of brake fluid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.
• The brake fluid reservoir diaphragm (located in the cap) should not have holes or other damage.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from the top of the reservoir (Figure 10b-5, Page 10b-7) .
(Numbered sections indicate: 1 - Full Level, 2 - Safe Level and 3 - Low Level). Also, brake fluid should be
clean with no residue in the bottom of the reservoir or other evidence of contamination.

CAUT ION
• Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid. Use of any other type brake fluid is not recommended.
ENGINE OIL
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
Even though the low oil warning lamp on the instrument panel should illuminate if the oil pressure becomes
low, the engine oil level should be checked daily. The vehicle should be on a level surface when the oil is
checked. Do not overfill with oil.
OIL PRESSURE – GASOLINE ENGINE
The Kawasaki gasoline engine has an oil filter that is mounted on a bracket between and in front of the engine
and transmission. Inlet and outlet oil-carrying hoses enable oil circulation to and from the engine.
