Brake Check
Perform the following checks to keep
the brake systems in good operating
condition. Check more often if brakes
are used heavily during normal opera-
tion.
1. Always keep foot brake fluid at an
adequate level. Check the foot brake
system regularly for fluid leaks.
2. Check the brakes for excessive
travel or spongy feel.
3. Check the brake pads for wear, dam-
age or looseness. Replace pads
when they are worn to 1 mm.
4. Check the security and surface condition of the brake discs.
Brake Fluid (Foot Brake)
Check brake fluid level before each use of the vehicle.
The brakes should feel firm when they're applied. Spongy or weak
brakes may indicate a fluid leak or low fluid level. A low fluid level
may also mean that brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Do not
operate the vehicle with spongy or weak brakes. See your dealer for ser-
vice.
1. Locate the foot brake master cylin-
der under the right rear fender.
2. View the fluid level through the res-
ervoir body.
3. Fluid level is full at the MAX mark.
Add brake fluid if the level reaches
the MIN mark.
