The Brake System
The brake system is crucial to the life of
the operator and passengers and therefore
must be periodically inspected and
maintained.
This vehicle uses the double return route
hydraulic pressure disc brake system.
Please follow the tips of inspection below.
1. Check the brake fluid level in the
brake reservoir. If it is low add the
correct amount of manufacturer
recommended brake fluid to ensure
the level is above the minimum
mark.
2.
3.
Check the brake pedal height.
It should be set between 20 and
30mm. If out of spec, adjust it to
meet the required travel distance.
Check for spongy feel of the pedal. If
it feels soft, a brake fluid change is
necessary or the system needs to be
bled of air. When bleeding be sure to
keep the reservoir full so not to allow
more air into the system.
Must use DOT
