MAINTENANCE
Brakes
Rear Brake
The transmission brake is a hydrau-
lic disc brake. This brake is acti-
vated by the left brake lever, which
also activates the front brakes. The
transmission brake system is self-
adjusting.
Periodically check the brake pads
for wear. Replace brake pads when
they are worn to 3/64" (1 mm).
Periodically inspect the brake disc
spline and pad wear surface for
excessive wear.
Front Wheel and Middle Axle Brake
The front wheel and middle axle brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. These
brakes are self-adjusting and require no adjustment.
The following checks are recommended to keep the brake systems in
good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily
under normal operation.
1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level. See page 38.
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. Replace
brake pads when they are worn to 3/64" (1 mm).
5. Check the security and surface condition of the disc.
