WARNING
Always wear th
e proper protective equipment in-
cluding eye pr
otection and petroleum-resistant
gloves when ha
ndling oil. Thoroughly wash oil
from exposed
areas of skin as soon as possible.
Never check f
or leaks by putting hands on pressur-
ized lines or
components under pressure. Pressur-
ized oil can b
e injected into the skin.
Pressure is t
ransferred from the master cylinder to the
transaxles t
hrough brake lines. These are metal tubes
filled with
oil connected by hydraulic fittings. Brake lines
run below th
e floor plates, from the master cylinder to a
tee fitting
located near the front of the frame. They con-
tinue from t
here as separate left-hand (LH) and right-
hand (RH) li
nes through the frame to a fitting on each
transaxle
. The drive wheel may be removed to access
this conne
ction. See Figure 11.
