Front Brake Adjustment; Rear Brake Inspection; Purging Brake Line - Eton Yukon II CXL-150 Owner's Manual

Inspect the brake arm, spring, rod and fastener for
signs of wear or damage. Operate the brake lever
while watching the brake mechanism for proper
operation. Tighten, repair or replace parts as
needed to insure safe brake operation. Clean any
build-up of mud or debris from the brake
mechanism.
The brakes are equipped with a wear indicator to
alert you when your brake shoes need replacing.
Apply light pressure to the brake lever and slowly
push the unit forward. If you hear a high pitched
metallic scraping sound, you need to replace your
brake shoes. The minimum shoe lining thickness
is 1.5mm.
DO NOT RIDE A UNIT WITH WORN
BRAKE SHOES.
Test the brakes by applying pressure to the
brake lever and trying to push the unit forward. If
the wheel rotates while the brakes are applied,
adjust the brake cable until the wheels no longer
rotate.
(See Brake Adjustment)
Brake Adjustment
Adjust the brake cable so that the lever has zero
free play and a minimum clearance of ½"
between the lever and the handle grip when the
brake is fully applied. Adjust the cable by using
the adjustment wheel where the cable attaches
to the lever assembly. After obtaining the correct
adjustment, insure that the locking nut is
tightened securely against the adjusting wheel to
prevent the adjustment wheel from turning due
to vibration. Keep your brake cables lubricated
with a high quality cable lubricant to prevent rust
and corrosion. The cables should be lubricated
every 60 days or more often if operated in a
dusty or wet environment.
Replacement of the brake shoes and cables
should ONLY be preformed by a qualified
mechanic.
Rear Brake System
Visually inspect the brake hose for any signs of
wear or leaks. Check the fluid level in the fluid
reservoir by checking the site glass for the level.
The fluid level should fill at least ¾ of site glass
when the unit is setting on a level surface.
Test the brakes by applying pressure to the brake
lever and trying to push the unit forward. If the
wheel rotates while the brakes are applied, check
your fluid level and brake pads. If the brake lever
feels spongy or does not stop when squeezed,
you may have air in the lines. All air must be
purged from the brake lines for the disc brake to
operate properly. (See purging brake lines).
