3. When the coolant level drops due to evaporation, add
water only up to the FULL (a) level. In case of leakage add
anti-freeze and water in the specified mixing ratio up to the
FULL (a) level. (See Flushing the Coolant System & Changing
Coolant section).
• Use clean fresh water and anti-freeze to fill the
recovery tank.
• If water should leak, consult your local authorized
service dealer.
NOTE: If the radiator cap has to be removed, follow the cautions
above and securely retighten the cap.
Cleaning the Radiator Screen
CAUTION
Be sure to stop the engine before removing the screen.
NOTE: Radiator screen must be cleaned of debris to prevent
engine from overheating.
1. Park the utility vehicle on a flat surface.
2. Remove the radiator cover.
3. Detach the screen and clean the radiator and radiator screen
and radiator fins of all debris (Figure 23).

Checking & Adding Brake Fluid
CAUTION
Never operate the vehicle if the brake fluid is below the
minimum mark. Use only DOT3 from a sealed container.
Other types of brake fluid may ruin synthetic resin or
rubber installed in brake system components and may
cause brake failure. Avoid contamination of the brake
fluid, thoroughly clean around the filler cap before
removing. Do not open the brake fluid reservoir cap
unless absolutely necessary. Use extreme care when
filling the reservoir. If brake fluid spills on coolant hose,
wash off with water immediately, as brake fluid quickly
ruins synthetic resin or rubber hoses.
1. Check to see that the brake fluid level of the brake fluid
reservoir (a) is up to the MIN (b) level (Figure 24).

2. If it is below the MIN (b) level add brake fluid, but do not
exceed the MAX (c) level.
Checking the Brake Pedal
WARNING
Stop the engine and chock the wheels before checking
brake pedal.
Inspect the brake pedals for free play (a), pedal stroke (b) and
smooth operation (Figure 25).
