6.1.6 - Replacing the brake hose
● The brake uid hoses are a critical safety element. It
is very important to check their state regularly.
● Check the state of the hoses especially at
connecting points and xation points.
● Replace any damaged hose.
● Use a spanner to loosen the screw at each end of
the hose and the mounting points on the kart.
● Install a new hose with new seals and banjo screws.
● Ensure that the mounts securing the hoses to the
kart are properly tightened.
► The brake is an essential safety element.
Do not put the kart in operation if the
break system is faulty or if you have a
doubt.
► Faulty braking system may lead to a
serious or even fatal injury.
► Check connexions of hoses, no leak.
► Use brake uid DOT 4 only.

● Use a pipe and a container to collect the used uid.
● Remove the protective caps from the bleed screws
(1) on each front calliper, and then place a hose on
the bleed screw. The other end of the hose should
be placed in an empty container.
● Gently unscrew the bleeder (1) screw and the ller
cap (2).
● Repeatedly press the brake pedal (3) until all the
uid has drained out.
● When all the uid has been drained, remove the
ller cap (2) and top up to the maximum level with
brake uid. Tighten the bleed screw (1), and then
press the brake pedal (3) three or four times.
● Loosen the bleeder screw (1) of the front right
calliper. Brake uid should ow out. Retighten the
bleed screw, and repeat this step several times to
feed the circuit properly. Remember to add brake
uid to the reservoir (4) as required. Bleed the
circuit so that the brake uid owing out of the hose
contains no air bubbles.
● Retighten the calliper bleed screw (1), remove the
pipe and reapply the protective cap.
● Repeat the operation for the front left calliper.
● Top up the brake uid in the reservoir (4) to its
maximum level, and retighten the cap (2).
