ADJUSTMENT (HYDRAULIC)
Use the following procedure to inspect the hydraulic
auxiliary (foot) brake system and adjust or bleed if
necessary:
First, check foot brake effectiveness by applying 50 lb.
(approx.) downward force on the pedal. The top of the
pedal should be at least 1 inch, (25.4mm) above the
surface of the footrest.
1/8, to 1/4,
Free Play
50 lbs
If less than one inch, two things must be examined:
Free Play:
Free play of the brake pedal should be 1/8 - 1/4
inch (3.2 - 6.35 mm).
If free play is excessive, inspect pedal, linkage, and
master cylinder for wear or damage and replace any
parts as needed.
Bleeding:
If free play is correct and brake pedal travel is still
excessive, air may be trapped somewhere in the
system. Bleed the hydraulic auxiliary brake system in
a conventional manner, following the procedure
outlined in Brake Chapter 9.
