Servicing the Brakes

Inspecting the Brakes
Brakes are a critical safety component of the vehicle. As
with all safety components, they should be closely
inspected at regular intervals to ensure optimum
performance and safety. The following inspections should
be done every 100 hours:
• Inspect the brake shoes for wear or damage. If the
lining (brake pad) thickness is less than 1/16 in.
(1.6 mm), the brake shoes should be replaced.
• Inspect the backing plate and other components for
signs of excessive wear or deformation. If any
deformation is found, the appropriate components must
be replaced.
• Check the brake fluid level; refer to Checking the Brake
Fluid Level, page 32.
Checking the Brake Fluid Level
The brake fluid reservoir is filled and shipped from the
factory with DOT 3 brake fluid. Check the level before the
engine is first started and every 8 hours or daily, thereafter.
1. Park the machine on a level surface, set the parking
brake, turn the ignition off, and remove the key.
2. Look at the side of the reservoir. The level should be
above the Minimum line (Fig. 32). If the fluid level is
low, clean the area around the cap, remove the cap, and
fill the reservoir to above the Minimum line. Do not
overfill.

Adjusting the Parking Brake

Check the parking brake adjustment every 200 hours.
1. Pry the rubber cover off of the parking brake.
2. Loosen the set screw securing the knob to the parking
brake lever (Fig. 33).

3. Rotate the knob until a force of 30–35 lb. (133–156 N)
is required to actuate the lever.
4. Tighten the set screw and install the rubber cover.

Inspecting the Tires

Check the tire condition at least every 100 hours of
operation. Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can
damage a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so
inspect tire condition after an accident.
Check the wheels to ensure that they are mounted securely.
Torque the front and the rear lug nuts to 45–65 ft.-lb.
(61–88 N⋅m).
Adjusting the Front
Suspension
The ride height of each side of the vehicle can be adjusted
separately. The ride height should be 8-3/4 to 9-1/2 in.
(22.2–24.1 cm) with the following parameters:
• The tire pressure should be at 12 psi (83 kPa).
• The vehicle should be driven back and forth a few times
to relax the A-arms.
• Measure the ride height with the wheels facing straight
ahead and a 175–225 lb. (79–102 kg) operator in the
driver's seat.
Note: The driver should drive up to the measurement
area and stay seated in the vehicle while the
measurement is being taken.
• Measure the ride height on a flat surface, from the
bottom of the front tongue to the ground.
1. Jack the front end of the vehicle off of the ground; refer
to Jacking the Vehicle, page 28.
