4. Slowly compress the left brake lever several times;
then while holding slight pressure on the brake lever,
open the bleed screw and watch for air bubbles in the
hose. Close the bleed screw before releasing the
brake lever. Repeat this procedure until no air bub-
bles are present.
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
reservoir sight glass to make sure there is always a
sufficient amount of brake fluid in the reservoir. Fail-
ure to maintain sufficient amount of fluid in the reser-
voir will result in air being in the system.
5. Repeat step 4 until the brake lever is firm.
Burnishing Brake Pads
(Rear)
Brake pads must be burnished to achieve full braking
effectiveness. Braking distance will be extended until
brake pads are properly burnished. To properly burnish
the brake pads, use the following procedure.
1. Choose an area large enough to safely accelerate the
ATV to 25 mph and to brake to a stop.
2. Accelerate to 25 mph; then compress brake lever or
apply the auxiliary brake to decelerate to 0-5 mph.
3. Repeat procedure on each brake system twenty times
until brake pads are burnished.
4. Verify that the brakelight illuminates when the hand
lever is compressed or the brake pedal is depressed.
