MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
Owner’s Manual
Adjust both tie rods equally to obtain the correct toe-in. Hold
tie rod (2) with an open end wrench, loosen the jam nut (1)
and turn the adjustment shaft (3) to move the wheel in the
desired direction.
Recheck the measurement at the front and at the rear of the
fro
nt tires, if the 1/4” toe-in has been achieved tighten the lock
nut (1) on each tie rod.
BRAKES
This vehicle is equipped with four wheel hydraulic disc brakes and a hand operated park brake. Check the fluid level at
intervals specified in the PERIODIC SERVICE SCHEDULE; if fluid leaks are noticed or the brake pedal seems soft,
check the fluid level immediately. If the brake pedal is soft, the brake system should be bled to remove air from the brake
lines. Refer to “Bleeding Brakes” on page 34 for procedure.
Master Cylinder
The master cylinder is located behind the driver side front wheel, mounted to
the frame. Before removing the reservoir cap, clean any dirt or debris from
around the reservoir and cap.

The hydraulic brake system must be free of air to operate pro
perly. Air can enter the system when hydraulic parts are dis-
connected for servicing or replacement, or when the fluid level
in the master cylinder reservoir is very low. Air in the sys-
tem will give the brake pedal a spongy
feeling when pressed.
An assistant is necessary to perform this procedure.
1. Use a clean cloth to wipe off the master cylinder reservoir
and wheel cylinder bleeder valves. Clean each fitting
before opening to prevent contaminating the system.
2. Open the master cylinder reservoir and top off with
standard automotive DOT 3 brake fluid.
