BRAKE SYSTEM INSPECTION
Read WARNING on page 6-1.
The hydraulic brake system and park brake system should be inspected immediately after any service to
either of the brake systems.
Brake Pedal Inspection
• When driving the vehicle and pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle should come to a smooth, straight
stop.
• Apply and release the brake pedal several times. If noise or binding occurs, the brake pedal or hydrau-
lic brake system may be in need of service. Pedal movement should be smooth, and when the pedal is
released, it should return quickly and quietly.
