Rear and Auxiliary Mechanical Brake
Rear Brake
The rear brake is a hydraulic disc
type brake which is activated by the
same lever which activates the front
brake system. The rear brake sys-
tem is self adjusting and requires no
maintenance other than periodic
checks of the pads for wear.
Wear Line
DPads should be changed when
worn to 3/64" (.1 cm) which is
about the thickness of a dime.
DInspect the brake disc spline and pad wear surface for excessive wear.
Auxiliary Mechanical Brake System
The auxiliary brake system is intended to be used as a backup for the hydraulic
service brake system. Should the hydraulic system fail, the rear brake can be acti-
vated by depressing the foot pedal on the inside of the right floorboard.
NOTE: Since this is a rear brake only, it will not be as effective as the all wheel sys-
tem.
Auxiliary Brake Adjustment (Mechanical)
The auxiliary brake should be checked for proper adjustment.
1. Support the rear wheels off the ground.
2. While turning the rear wheels by hand, apply the auxiliary foot brake. This
brake should not stop the wheels from turning until the lever is half way be-
tween its rest position and bottoming on the footrest.
