Maintenance Instructions
•
Examine all connections for leaks.
•
Repair or replace brake line tubes, hoses or fittings as
required.
Hydraulic Brakes - Fluid Precautions
The SmartTrac
™
brake system consists of two completely
separate hydraulic systems operating with two different
and incompatible fluids:
power steering fluid and hydraulic
brake fluid.
Failure to observe precautions preventing the
contamination of either system with fluid from the other will
result in swelling and deterioration of rubber parts leading to
reduced brake performance and eventual brake failure.
NOTE: Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid that is properly
identified in a sealed container. Avoid brake fluid contact
with painted surfaces. It will damage the paint.
The following should always be observed to avoid fluid
contamination. Use only properly identified and specified (or
equivalent) fluids, and add fluids only to the following locations:
•
Brake fluid to the brake master cylinder.
•
Power steering fluid to the power steering fluid pump
reservoir.
Hydraulic Brakes
Brake Fluid Level (SmartTrac
™
System)
NOTE: If brake fluid is added frequently to maintain the
proper level in the master cylinder, it means that there
is either rapid pad wear or a fluid system leak. A more
frequent and thorough brake inspection is required.
Do not fill the master cylinder to the top of the reservoir.
Overfilling may lead to overflow. A MIN and MAX indicator are
located on the reservoir; do not exceed the MAX line with brake
fluid.
Check and refill the brake fluid reservoir using the following
procedure:
1.
Clean the reservoir caps before removal to prevent dirt
or water from entering the reservoir.
2.
Visually inspect the fluid level.
3.
If necessary, add brake fluid from a clean unopened
container.
4.
Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid certified to meet
manufacturer specifications.
5.
Fill the brake fluid reservoir to the MAX line, but do not
exceed the MAX fill specifications.
