BRAKE SYSTEM
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes that are
activated by pressing the brake pedal with your foot. These brakes
are self-adjusting. As the brake pads wear, the brake fluid level
will drop. Leakage in the system will also cause the fluid level to
drop.
The following inspection is recommended to keep the braking
system in good working condition. If the brake is in heavy use
during normal operation, check it frequently.
1.
Always keep the brake fluid at an appropriate level. Refer to
master cylinder/brake fluid section for details (p. 127).
2.
Check the brake system for leakage.
3.
Check whether the brake pedal has too long travel or feels soft.
4.
Check whether the friction gasket is worn, damaged or loose.
When replacing the brake gasket, the brake pad must be
replaced when the remaining limit thickness of the brake pad is
not less than 1 mm.
5.
Check the safety and surface condition of the disc. Use the
recommended brake cleaner to clean any grease. Do not use
spray lubricants or other petroleum-based products. If any
damage (crack, excessive corrosion, warping) is found, check
the Segway Powersports service before further operation.
Brake fluid levels must be checked periodically.
Overfilling the brake cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up,
which may result in serious injury or death.
Keep the brake fluid at the recommended level and do not overfill.
Check brake pads and brake disc wear regularly.
