Purging Brake Lines

For the hydraulic brake system to operate safely, the

brake system must be purged of air in the lines and

reservoir.

To bleed the air will require two people to perform the

following procedure.

1. Place a drain pan under the brake caliper to catch

the fluid.

2. Open the bleeder valve ½ turn counter

clockwise.

3. Squeeze the brake lever to expel air from the

system.

4. While holding the brake lever, close the

bleeder valve.

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the brake fluid

coming from the bleeder valve is a solid

stream without any air, then close the valve

and replace rubber protection cap.

6. Test the brake system by squeezing the lever.

The lever should feel firm and stop without

fading.

Rear Brake System Inspection

Check the brakes for smooth operation. The

brake cable should move freely and apply the

brakes with minimal effort. If the cable sticks,

hangs up, or requires a larger amount of effort to

apply the brakes the cable may be damaged or

need lubricating.

Visually inspect the brake cable for any signs of

wear, fraying, kinking or corrosion. Replace any

worn, frayed, corroded or kinked cable. Lubricate

the brake cable with a commercial cable

lubricant available through your dealer.

Test the rear brake by applying pressure to

the brake lever. Try pushing the vehicle with

the brakes applied. If the rear wheel turns the

brakes may need to be adjusted or replaced.

To adjust the rear brake, turn the adjusting

nut located on the brake arm on the rear

wheel. Adjust the nut so that the brake arm

engages when ever the rear brake lever is

squeezed. CAUTION: do not over tighten the

nut to the point that the brake shoes are in

constant contact with the brake drum.

Replace the brake cable and/or shoes when

there is insufficient adjustment left to apply

the brake completely.

Rear brake drum tolerances are:

Inner diameter of drum

Standard: 110mm / 4.330696”

Minimum: 110.5mm / 4.350381”

Brake Shoe Lining

Standard: 4.0mm / 0.1574798”

Minimum: 2.0mm / 0.07873992”
