BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid level can be seen through a plastic sight glass in the brake
reservoir. If the fluid is sufficient, the sight glass will be black. If the sight glass is
any color other than black, add brake fluid.
Replace brake fluid at least every two years with DOT 4 high temperature brake
fluid, or an equivalent product.
WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never
store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly
absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of
the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of
accident or serious injury.
WARNING
Keep the master cylinder cover free of dirt and debris. The vent slits allow for
diaphragm movement, and if they become plugged, movement of brake fluid
below the diaphragm may be restricted, altering brake function.
NOTICE
Brake fluid will damage labels, paint and some plastics. Always wipe up spills
immediately.
TRACK INSPECTION
1. Using a hoist, safely lift and support the rear of the snow bike off the ground.
2. Rotate the track by hand to check for damage.
3. Carefully examine the track along the entire length of each rod. Bend the
track to check for breakage.
4. Replace the track if any rod damage is found.
WARNING
Broken track rods can cause a rotating track to come off the snow bike, which
could cause serious injury or death. Never operate with a damaged track.
Never rotate a damaged track under power.
