Electrical Connections
The electrical connections should be checked peri-
odically for proper function. In case of an electrical
failure, check fuses, connections (for tightness, cor-
rosion, damage), and/or bulbs. If an electrical com-
ponent needs to be tested for proper function, see
Section 5.

CHECKING/BLEEDING
The hydraulic brake systems have been filled and
bled at the factory. To check and/or bleed a hydrau-
lic brake system, use the following procedure.
1. With the master cylinder in a level position,
check the fluid level in the reservoir. If the level
in the reservoir is not visible in the sight glass,
add DOT 4 brake fluid.

KM137
2. Compress the brake lever/pedal several times to
check for a firm brake. If the brake is not firm,
the system must be bled.
3. To bleed the brake system, use the following
procedure.
A. Remove the cover and fill the reservoir with
DOT 4 Brake Fluid.
B. Install and secure the cover; then slowly
compress the brake lever several times.
C. Remove the protective cap, install one end of
a clear hose onto one FRONT bleed screw,
and direct the other end into a container; then
while holding slight pressure on the brake
lever, open the bleed screw and watch for air
bubbles. Close the bleed screw before releas-
ing the brake lever. Repeat this procedure
until no air bubbles are present.
KM116A
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the
reservoir sight glass very closely to make sure
there is always a sufficient amount of brake fluid.
Failure to maintain a sufficient amount of fluid in
the reservoir will result in air in the system.
D. At this point, perform steps B and C on the
other FRONT bleed screw; then move to the
REAR bleed screw and follow the same pro-
cedure.
4. Carefully check the entire hydraulic brake sys-
tem that all hose connections are tight, the bleed
screws are tight, the protective caps are
installed, and no leakage is present.
INSPECTING HOSES
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses for
cracks or other damage. If found, the brake hoses
must be replaced.
! CAUTION
This hydraulic brake system is designed to use DOT
4 brake fluid only. If brake fluid must be added, care
must be taken as brake fluid is very corrosive to
painted surfaces.
