HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM
<WARNING>
When working with the disc brake, observe the precautions listed below:
1.
Disc brakes should only be installed and serviced by someone competent in the installation and maintenance of
disc brakes. If you have any questions, contact customer service at 1-800-854-3140.
2.
Never reuse old brake fluid.
3.
Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed, or that has been open for a long time. Brake fluid
draws moisture when exposed to air.
4.
Do not mix two types of fluid for use in the brake; this lowers the brake fluid boiling point.
5.
To avoid moisture contamination of the fluid, do not leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time.
6.
Don't change the fluid in the rain, or when a strong wind is blowing.
7.
Except for the disc pads and disc, use only brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning brake parts.
Do not use any other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil or any other petroleum distillate will
cause deterioration of rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be difficult to wash off completely, and will even-
tually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.
8.
When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that no brake fluid or oil gets on them. Clean off any fluid or oil
that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with “Brake Kleen” or other suitable cleaner. Do not use cleaners that
will leave an oily residue. Replace pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.
9.
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be wiped up immediately.
10.
If any brake line fittings or bleed valves are opened at any time, THE AIR MUST BE BLED FROM
THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
NOTE:
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be wiped up immediately. Brake fluid is water-solu-
ble; use wet rags to clean up brake fluid.
BRAKE HOSE
When removing the brake hose, temporarily secure the end of the brake hose to a high place to keep fluid loss to a
minimum. Make sure not to spill brake fluid onto painted parts. Use wet rags to clean up any spillage. Bleed the brake
line after installing a brake hose.
BRAKE HOSE INSPECTION
High pressure inside the brake line can cause fluid to leak or the hose to burst if the line is not properly maintained.
Bend and twist the line while examining it; replace it if any cracks or bulges are noticed.
DISC INSPECTION
Visually inspect the brake disc. If grooved or worn, replace the brake disc. Original disc thickness is .250”. Mini-
mum disc thickness is limited to .235”. Place a stand or block under the go-kart so that the rear wheel is raised off the
ground. Set up a dial gauge against the disc; rotate the wheel to measure the disc run-out. The difference between the
highest and lowest dial readings is the amount of run-out. If the disc run-out exceeds the service limit, replace the disc.
