Brake Noise Troubleshooting
Possible Cause
Remedy
Dirt, dust, or im-
bedded material
on pads or disc
Spray disc and pads
with CRC Brake Kleen
t
or equivalent non-flam-
mable aerosol brake
cleaner. Remove pads
and/or disc hub to clean
imbedded material from
disc or pads.
Pad(s) dragging on
disc (noise or
premature pad wear)
Improper adjustment
Insufficient lever or
pedal clearance
Master cylinder res-
ervoir overfilled
Master cylinder
compensating port
restricted
Master cylinder pis-
ton not returning com-
pletely
Caliper piston(s) not
returning
Operator error (riding
the brake / park brake
applied)
Adjust pad stop
(front calipers)
Check position of
controls & switches.
Set to proper level
Clean compensating port
Inspect.
Repair as necessary
Clean piston(s) seal
Educate operator
Loose wheel hub or
bearings
Check wheel and hub
for abnormal
movement.
Brake disc warped or
excessively worn
Replace disc
Brake disc
misaligned or loose
Inspect and repair as
necessary
Noise is from other
source (chain, axle,
hub, disc or wheel)
If noise does not
change when brake is
applied check other
sources. Inspect and
repair as necessary
Wrong pad for
conditions
Change to a softer or
harder pad
HYDRAULIC
CALIPER BLEEDING
T
his caliper is a single piston design. The caliper
pistons are “T”-shaped, which allows both hand and
foot brakes to use the same caliper piston, but remain
separated by seals. The hand brake system applies
hydraulic pressure to both front calipers and only the
outer diameter of the rear caliper pistons.
The
auxiliary (foot) brake applies pressure to the inner
portion of the rear caliper pistons. Because the hand
and foot brake hydraulic systems are separate, there
are also two bleed screws -- one for the outer fluid
chamber (hand brake), and one for the inner fluid
chamber (foot brake).
The basic procedure for
bleeding is the same as outlined in this chapter,
however, each system must be bled separately.
Hydraulic Auxiliary Brake inspection and adjustment
is outlined in Chapter 2.
NOTE: Top (Uppermost) bleed screw (A) and brake
line (A) is for hand brake system
Lower screw (B) and brake line (B) is for auxiliary (foot)
brake system.

BRAKE BLEEDING - FLUID
CHANGE
NOTE: When bleeding the brakes or replacing the
fluid, always start with the caliper farthest from the
master cylinder.
CAUTION:
Always
wear
safety
glasses
during
these
procedures.
Brake fluid will damage finished
surfaces. Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with finished surfaces.
NOTE: Do not remove brake lever when reservoir
fluid level is low.
This procedure should be used to change fluid or
bleed brakes during regular maintenance.
1.
Clean reservoir cover thoroughly.
2.
Remove screws, cover and diaphragm (C) from
reservoir.
