To replace the brake pads:
Brake pads are easily replaced by removing the single bolt
securing them within the brake caliper assembly and pulling
each pad up and out of the caliper. See Figure 7-29. Pistons
have to be pushed back in first, to allow clearance for the new
pads. Slip the new pads into the caliper and install the single
bolt fastener to secure the pads in position. Pump the steering
handle bar a few times to the left and to the right to build up
proper pressure and to locate the pads in the caliper assembly.

Ensure that you push the opposite side pad up against the
brake disc before setting this gap.
12. Check for drag by driving without activating any brakes
for about 100 feet. Stop and check for heat on the brake
discs. They should both be cool (or no hotter than the
beginning of the test). Adjust if necessary.
13. Check the effectiveness of the parking brake by parking
the Argo on the steepest hill encountered and by loading
to it’s maximum working load. The parking brake should
hold the Argo from moving.
14. Check the effectiveness of the emergency brake by ac
-
tivating it while coasting down a slight grade. The Argo
should come to a controlled stop without pulling left or
right. Re-adjust the brakes if necessary.
15. The emergency/parking brake should be checked for
proper adjustment every 25 hours.
Note: Oil on the brake
disc caused by improper chain oiling can permanently
reduce the effectiveness of all brake systems.
