Hydraulic Brakes
General
Although the hydraulic brake system is self adjusting, the following require periodic attention:
Brake Fluid Level (Steering Brake Master Cylinders)
After every 50 hours of operation, check the brake uid level by removing the master
cylinder covers.
IMPORTANT
Thoroughly clean the master cylinder cover and surrounding area before removal.
The master cylinders are mounted tilted slightly back. When adding uid, ll until the
shallowest end of the uid level in the well is approximately 1/2" from the top lip of the
master cylinder. Figure 1
If the brake uid is below this level:
1. Add only fresh clean SILICONE - DOT
5 BRAKE FLUID (ARGO Part No.
126-19) to the correct level.
2. Replace the cover on each master cyl-
inder, making sure the rubber gaskets
are properly seated before tightening
the cover screws. Tighten snug by hand
only.
CAUTION
Do not overll the brake master cylinders.
Overlling can cause seal damage.
Use only SILICONE - DOT5 BRAKE FLU-
ID. Other brake uid is not compatible with
ARGO brake components and operating
temperatures. Use of other uids will void
the warranty and may cause loss of brakes
or steering.
