Brake Fluid
Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the level of the brake fluid before each operation.
Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are unknown.

To check the brake fluid level, do the following:
-
Position the vehicle on a level surface.
-
View the brake fluid level at the reservoir in the driver’s side wheel well. The level should be between the upper (MAX) 1 and lower (MIN) 2 level lines.
-
If the fluid level is lower than the upper level line, add brake fluid to the upper (MAX) line 1.
-
Apply the brake forcefully for a few seconds and check for fluid leakage around the fittings.
