Brakes MAINTENANCE Rear Brake The transmission brake is a hydraulic disc brake. This brake is activated by the left brake lever, which also activates the front brakes. The transmission brake system is selfadjusting. Periodically check the brake pads for wear. Replace brake pads when they are worn to 3/64" (1 mm). Periodically inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. 3/64" (1 mm) Front Wheel and Middle Axle Brake The front wheel and middle axle brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes are self-adjusting and require no adjustment. The following checks are recommended to keep the brake systems in good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal operation. 1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level. See page 38. 2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. 3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or spongy feel. 4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. Replace brake pads when they are worn to 3/64" (1 mm). 5. Check the security and surface condition of the disc. 85
