CHECKING THE BRAKES
CAUTION:
Because brakes are essential to the safe operation of the car, it is suggested
that they be checked and inspected by your JAC dealer. The brakes should
be checked and inspected for wear at those intervals specified in the vehicle
maintenance schedule in Section 6-3.
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
WARNING:
Use caution when handling brake fluid. It can damage your vision if it get into
your eyes. It will also damage your vehicles paint if spilled on it and not re
鄄
moved immediately.
To Check the Fluid Level (If installed)
The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir should be checked periodically. The
level should be between the "L' and "H" marks on the side of the reservoir. If
the level is at or below the "L" mark, carefully add fluid to bring it up to "H". Do
not overfill.

NOTE:
If the brake fluid is discharged from the air bleeder, the stroke of the pedal will
change. Tighten the air bleeder immediately after the pedal has touched the
stopper.

and install the rubber cap.
6. Check the fluid level in the fluid reservoir tank and add brake fluid up to the
"H" level. Depress the clutch pedal to check for fluid leaks.
