MAINTENANCE
Brakes
The front and rear brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. Both brake systems
are self-adjusting.
Brake Inspections
Perform the following checks to keep the brake systems in good operat-
ing condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal
operation.
1. Always keep brake fluid at an
adequate level. See page 59.
2. Check the brake systems regularly
for fluid leaks.
3. Check the brakes for excessive
travel or spongy feel.
4. Check the friction pads for wear,
damage and looseness. Replace
the pads when the friction mate-
rial is worn to 1 mm.
5. Check the security and surface
condition of the disc.
Side Panel Removal
Tip: Side panel removal may be difficult until the locking tabs and receivers have
been snapped and unsnapped a few times.
1. Remove the seat.
2. Remove the push-pins at the front and rear of the side panel.
3. Grasp the rear of the side panel near the rear cab. Pull the panel
slightly outward, downward and rearward to disengage the upper
front section.
4. To reinstall the side panel, align the upper and lower front section
with the mating front cab tabs. Push the panel upward and forward
until the panel is fully seated at the front. Lock the rear of the panel
into the rear front cab tabs. Reinstall the push-pins at the front and
rear of the side panel.
