MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Brakes
Front and Rear Brake Inspection
The front and rear brakes are
hydraulic disc type brakes and are
activated by the brake pedal. See
page 43.
Routine inspections are recommended
to keep the brake system in good
operating condition. Inspect the level
of the brake fluid before each
operation.
Change the brake fluid as outlined in
the Periodic Maintenance Schedule.
The brake fluid should also be
changed if it becomes contaminated
with dirt or water.
Inspection Procedure:
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Inspect the brake fluid by looking at the reservoir (1) under the
hood. The level should be between the upper (MAX) and lower
(MIN) level lines.
3. If the fluid level is lower than the lower level line, add brake fluid
to the upper (MAX) line.
4. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid
leakage around the fittings.

CAUTION
Change the fluid in the brake system completely if the fluid level is
below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid already in
the reservoir are unknown.
Once a bottle of brake fluid is opened, use what is necessary and
discard the rest. Do not store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture
from the air. This causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid
to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of
serious injury.
