MAINTENANCE Brakes The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the brake pedal. See page 31. Brake Fluid Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation. Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown. 1. Position the vehicle on a level Maximum Minimum surface. 2. View the brake fluid level at the reservoir in the driver's side wheel well. The level should be between the upper (MAX) and lower (MIN) level lines. 3. If the fluid level is lower than the upper 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. WARNING After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury. 90

MAINTENANCE
Brakes
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc type brakes activated by the
brake pedal. See page 31.
Brake Fluid
Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid
before each operation.
Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes
contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and
brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.
1.
Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2.
View the brake fluid level at the
reservoir in the driver’s side
wheel well. The level should be
between the upper (MAX) and
lower (MIN) level lines.
3.
If the fluid level is lower than
the upper 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.
WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it
rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling
temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and
the possibility of accident or severe injury.
