A soft or spongy feeling in the brake le-
ver can indicate the presence of air in
the brake system. Before the vehicle is
operated, the air must be removed by
bleeding the brake system. Air in the
brake system will considerably reduce
braking performance and could result in
loss of control and possibly an acci-
dent. Therefore, check the brake system
and bleed if necessary.
