The Brake System
The brake system is crucial to
the safety of the operator and
passengers, therefore must be
periodically inspected and
maintained.
This vehicle uses the double
return route hydraulic pressure
disc brake system.
Please follow the tips of inspection below.
1.
Check the Brake Fluid level in
the Brake reservoir. If it is low
add the correct amount DOT 3
brake fluid to ensure the level
is above the minimum mark.
2.
Check the brake pedal front edge height to
floorboard. It should be set between 75 and
85mm. If out of spec adjust to meet the required
travel distance.
3. Check for spongy feel of the pedal If
feel becomes soft, a brake fluid change
is necessary or the system needs to be
bled of air. When bleeding be sure to
keep the reservoir full so not to allow
more air into the system.
4. Check the rear brake disc (1) for
thickness (2).
Brake disc’s wear as well as brake pads
therefore a periodic inspection may reveal
scoring, or wear to a disc. Replacement is
necessary if this is found.
5. Check the brake lines for cracks or
distortion.
