Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
BRAKES
It is important to periodically check and maintain proper
fluid levels in the brake master cylinder. The fill cap for
the cylinder is located under the front seat. When check-
ing the fluid, wipe off any dirt from the fill cap before
removing it to prevent contamination. Fluid level should
be maintained at 1/8" (3 mm) below the top of the hous-
ing. If fluid must be added, inspect system for fluid leaks.
Perform the daily brake test following procedure indi-
cated.
Daily Brake Test
After the vehicle has been put into service, it is recom-
mended that the brakes be checked daily by performing
the following test:
To prevent severe injury
or death resulting from
operating a vehicle with
improperly operating brake system, the braking sys-
tem must be properly maintained. All driving brake
tests must be done in a safe location with regard for
the safety of all personnel.
Depress the brake pedal. The pedal should have some
free travel and then become hard. A brake pedal that has
no free travel, excessive free travel or a spongy feel indi-
cates that a brake inspection is required. A brake pedal
that falls after it is applied indicates a leak in the master
or wheel cylinders. Check for adequate brake fluid level.
Adjust brakes if required and inspect system for fluid
leaks.
PDS MODEL VEHICLES
Test the PDS system at regular intervals by allowing the
vehicle to roll down an incline with the accelerator pedal
released. Braking force should be felt at approximately 2
mph (3 kph) indicating that the PDS system is function-
ing. If vehicle speed continues to rise, apply the service
brake and have vehicle inspected by a trained mechanic.

Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule (Ref. Fig. 17 on page 14). Inflation pres-
sures should be checked when the tires are cool.

To prevent tire explosion, pressurize tire with
small amount of air applied intermittently to seat
beads. Never exceed the tire manufacturer’s rec-
ommendation when seating a bead. Protect face
and eyes from escaping air when removing valve
core.
To prevent injury caused by a broken socket, use
only sockets designed for impact wrench use.
Never use a conventional socket.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low
volume of these small tires, overinflation can
occur in a matter of seconds. Overinflation could
cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause
the tire to explode, either of which could cause
personal injury.

Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of the
terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for
recommended tire inflation pressure. For outdoor appli-
cations with major use on grassy areas, the following
should be considered. On hard turf, it is desirable to have
a slightly higher inflation pressure. On very soft turf, a
