MAINTENANCE Brakes Brake Inspection 1. Check the brake system for fluid leaks. 2. Check the brake pedal for excessive travel or a spongy feel. 3. Check the friction pads for wear, damage and looseness. 4. Inspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear. 5. Change pads when worn to 3/64" (1 mm). 3/64" (1mm) Park Brake Inspection 1. Apply the brakes. 2. Pull the park brake lever downward as far as possible. 3. Check the vehicle for movement. The vehicle should not roll while parked. If the vehicle moves, adjust the park brake. Park Brake Release Park Brake Cable Tension Inspect and adjust park brake cable tension after the first 25 hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter to ensure proper cable tension. Loss of tension in the park brake cable may cause illumination of the park brake light and activation of the limiting feature. If this occurs, move the park brake lever to the forward-most position, then inspect and adjust park brake cable tension. NOTE: If performing this service is difficult due to conditions or location, open the hood and temporarily disconnect the park brake connector. This will inactivate the limiting function. Reconnect the connector as soon as possible, and adjust the park brake cable to proper tension. 1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Shift the transmission to neutral. 3. Loosen or tighten the nuts on the lever end of the park brake cable as needed. 88
