Hydraulic Brake System - Tracker Off-Road XTR1000 Service Manual

3. Using the measurements obtained in step 2, make
horizontal marks on the aiming surface directly in
front of each headlight.
4. Switch on the lights. Make sure the HIGH beam is
on. DO NOT USE LOW BEAM.
5. Observe each headlight beam aim. Proper aim is
when the most intense beam is 5 cm (2 in.) below the
horizontal mark on the aiming surface.
6. Adjust each headlight until correct aim is obtained
by loosening (counterclockwise) the retaining knob;
then pivot the assembly up or down. Once the correct
level is achieved, tighten (clockwise) the retaining
knob.

Hydraulic Brake System

CHECKING
The hydraulic brake system has been filled and bled at
the factory. To check hydraulic brake system, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. With the vehicle in a level position and the tires
properly inflated, check the fluid level in the reser-
voir. If the level in the reservoir is not above the MIN
line, add DOT 4 brake fluid.
NOTE: The brake fluid reservoir is located under-

neath the hood.

2. Press the brake pedal several times to check for a
firm brake. If the brake is not firm, the system must
be bled.

BLEEDING
1. To bleed hydraulic brake system, use the following
procedure:
A. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cover and fill
the reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid.
B. Install and secure the cover; then slowly press the
brake pedal several times.
C. Install one end of a clear hose onto the bleed
screw farthest from the cylinder (right rear) and
direct the other end into a container; then while
holding slight pressure on the brake pedal, open
the bleed screw and watch for air bubbles. Close
the bleed screw before releasing the brake pedal.
Repeat this procedure until no air bubbles are
present.
XX226
NOTE: During the bleeding procedure, watch the

reservoir very closely to make sure there is always a
sufficient amount of brake fluid. If the fluid level gets
low in the reservoir, refill the reservoir before the
bleeding procedure is continued.
D. Repeat step C until the brake pedal is firm.
E. At this point, perform steps B, C, and D on the left
rear bleed screw; then move to the right front
bleed screw and follow the same procedure. Fin-
ish with the left front bleed screw.
2. Carefully check the entire hydraulic brake system to
ensure that all hose connections are tight, the bleed
screws are tight, the protective caps are installed, and
no leakage is present.
CAUTION
This hydraulic brake system is designed to use DOT 4
brake fluid only. If brake fluid must be added, care must
be taken as brake fluid is very corrosive to painted sur-
faces.
INSPECTING HOSES
Carefully inspect the hydraulic brake hoses for cracks or
other damage. If found, the brake hoses must be replaced.
