Brakes
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc activated by the
brake pedal.
Brake Fluid
Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation.
Always keep the fluid level between the minimum and
maximum fill line on the reservoir. Change the brake
fluid either every two years, any time the fluid becomes
contaminated or if the type and brand of the fluid in the
reservoir are unknown.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface and place
transmission in “P” (Park).
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,
remove cap and add brake fluid to the upper
(MAX) line.
4. Reinstall the cap.
5. Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and
check for fluid leakage around the fittings.
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 word to 3/64˝ (1 mm).
