Brake Maintenance

Inspecting the Brakes

Service Interval:

Every 100 hours

Brakes are a critical safety component of the vehicle.
As with all safety components, they should be closely
inspected at regular intervals to ensure optimum
performance and safety. The following inspections
should be done every 100 hours:

Inspect the brake shoes for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm), the brake shoes should be replaced.

Inspect the backing plate and other components
for signs of excessive wear or deformation. If any
deformation is found, the appropriate components
must be replaced.

Check the brake fluid level; refer to Checking the
Brake Fluid Level.

Checking the Brake Fluid
Level

Service Interval:

Before each use or daily

The brake fluid reservoir is filled and shipped from the
factory with DOT 3 brake fluid. Check the level before
the engine is first started and every 8 hours or daily,
thereafter.

1. Park the machine on a level surface, set the parking

brake, turn the ignition off, and remove the key.

2. Remove the rubber plug in the center and on top of

the dash to gain access to the master brake cylinder
and reservoir.

3. Look at the side of the reservoir. The level should

be above the Minimum line (Figure 43). If the fluid
level is low, clean the area around the cap, remove
the cap, and fill the reservoir to above the Minimum
line. Do not overfill.

2. Loosen the set screw securing the knob to the

parking brake lever (Figure 44).

is required to actuate the lever.

4. Tighten the set screw and install the rubber cover.
