MAINTENANCE

Brakes

2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.
3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or

spongy feel.

4. Check the friction pads for wear,

damage and looseness.

5. Check the security and surface

condition of the disc.

NOTE: Pads should be changed

when worn to 3/64″ (.1 cm).

Auxiliary Brake

The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the

main brake system. Should the main system fail, the rear brake can be

activated by depressing the foot pedal on the inside of the right

footrest. The hydraulic auxiliary brake system requires no adjustment.

NOTE: Since this is a rear brake only, it will not be as effective as

the all-wheel single lever system.
