can damage components or cause a loss in braking or steering effectiveness.
1. Remove cover and gasket seal from the master cylinder reservoir.
2. Disconnect the hose from the caliper. Place a catch tray under the free end of the
hydraulic hose and allow the hose and master cylinder reservoir to drain.
3. Disconnect the hydraulic hose from the master cylinder.

Mechanical Brakes (Vanguard Models)
The brakes must be inspected regularly by a qualified mechanic. Damaged calipers
or badly worn brake pads can seriously scratch the face of the brake discs, and cause
a reduction in steering and braking ability of the ARGO vehicle. Severe personal
injury could result from a damaged or poorly adjusted brake system.
