CV Joint Boots

In accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart, inspect 

the joint boots on the front axles, rear axles, tie rod ends 

and steering rack for damage or deterioration. Replace any 

damage boot and be sure the joints are greased. 

Brakes

The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc activated by the 

brake pedal.

Brake Fluid

Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. 

Always keep the fluid level between the minimum and 

maximum fill line on the reservoir. Change the brake 

fluid either every two years, any time the fluid becomes 

contaminated or if the type and brand of the fluid in the 

reservoir are unknown.

1.

Position the vehicle on a level surface and place

transmission in “P” (Park).

2.

View the brake fluid level at the reservoir in the

driver’s side wheel well. The level should be

between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) level

lines.
