NOTE: If the sight glass appears
dark, there is a sufficient amount of
fluid in the reservoir.
Brake Lever Lock
NOTE: The brake lever lock must
lock the wheels. If it doesn’t, take
the ATV to an authorized dealer for
service.
Brake Hoses
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake
hoses for cracks or other damage. If
found, take the ATV to an authorized
dealer to have the brake hoses replaced.
Brake Pads
The clearance between the brake pads
and brake discs is adjusted automatically
as the brake pads wear. The only mainte-
nance that is required is replacement of
the brake pads when they show excessive
wear. Check the thickness of each of the
brake pads as follows:
1. Remove a front wheel.
2. Measure the thickness of each brake
pad.
3. If thickness of either brake pad is less
than 1.0 mm (0.039 in.), take the ATV
to an authorized dealer to have brake
pads replaced.
