7-8. BRAKES

7-8.1 SYSTEM TEST
1. Squeeze the left hand brake lever and test for proper braking. The lever should feel firm and proportional force
should be applied to the discs preventing the quad from rolling.
If the brake lever feels spongy or weak, or the vehicle is not prevented from rolling have the brakes inspected by a
DINLI dealer.
2. Check for fluid leaks. Inspect the entire length of the hoses paying close attention to the banjo bolts, calipers, and
master cylinders.
3. Check the right foot brake pedal for proper operation by pressing it with your foot.
You should feel firm resistance when braking. As with the foot brakes, force applied to the pedal should be
forward to the front and rear discs preventing the vehicle from rolling.
If the foot brake operates improperly have a DINLI dealer inspect the system.
4. Inspect the rear brake pads for wear.
5. Test both brake systems at slow speed. Make sure that both systems function properly and that there is proper
braking force available always.
6. When riding in wet conditions or after exiting a water crossing, apply the brake lightly a few times so that the heat
of friction will dry the pad and discs. If water remains on the system, you will not have adequate braking power
when needed
