WARNING
Adjusting the brakes by means of the brake cables
could cause a hard brake pedal with little or no
braking power. This could cause loss of control of
the vehicle resulting in severe bodily injury and /or
property damage.
Adjusting the brake linkage is only required when any
part of the brake linkages are removed or replaced. Do
not adjust the brake linkage to compensate for a low
brake pedal. A low brake pedal may be an indication that
the auto-adjust mechanism is not functioning properly.
Refer to Inspecting the Auto-Adjust Brake Mechanism
for information on the auto-adjust mechanism.
Adjust the Service Brake Linkage
The brake linkage is adjusted by means of the adjustment
rod at the brake cable equalizer. The adjustment rod
should be adjusted so that all slack is taken out of the
linkages but the brake arm on the left and right brake is
not actuated. If the brake cables are too tight, then the
auto adjust mechanism may not function correctly.
Parking Brake
There is no adjustment for the parking brake. The parking
brake should work properly as long as the service brake
linkage is adjusted properly

Commutator
1: Measure the outside diameter of the commutator.
• If the commutator is less than the minimum diameter specified in section Service Limits, then the motor must
be replaced.
2: Measure the commutator undercut depth in 5 places around the commutator.
• If any one of the measurements is less than the minimum undercut depth specified in Service Limits at the
end of this section, then the commutator must be undercut. Refer to the Repair Commutator section for
information regarding undercutting the commutator.
3: Inspect the commutator for groves.
• If the commutator is grooved then it must be machined on a lathe. Do not machine the commutator past the
minimum diameter specified in Service Limits section. Refer to the Repair Commutator section for information
regarding machining the commutator.
4: Inspect the commutator for burn marks.
• Burn marks and/or raised commutator segments 90 or 180 degrees apart is evidence of a shorted armature. A
tool called a growler is required to reliably test for a shorted armature.
5: Inspect the commutator for raised segments.
• Raised segments could be a result of a stalled motor or shorted armature. A tool called a growler is required
to reliably test for a shorted armature.
• If the armature is not shorted then the raised segments can be removed by machining the commutator. Do not
machine the commutator past the minimum diameter specified in Service Limits section. Refer to the Repair
Commutator section for information regarding machining the commutator.

warnings and instructions that are located in the
Service Guidelines chapter. Never exceed the maximum pressure as indicated
on the side wall of the tire. Exceeding the maximum
pressure may cause explosive failure of the tire
resulting in severe personal injury.
Air pressure
Maintaining the correct tire pressure is important to the safe operation of the vehicle as well as ensuring long tread life.
Under inflated tires result in:
• Excessive tire side wall flexing that can result in sudden tire failure.
• Excessive tread wear resulting in shortened tire life.
Over inflated tires result in:
• Tire explosion due to excessive pressure.
• Reduced road surface traction.
• Increased vibration from the road surface.
• Excessive tread wear resulting in shortened tire life.
Unequal tire inflation may result in:
• Uneven braking and loss of control of the vehicle.
• Steering pulling to the left or right.
Only check the tire pressure when the tire is cold. When checking tire pressure, you must check all tires including
your spare tire.
The correct tire size and pressure can be found in the specifications list in the manual.
Note: The front and rear tires may have a different tire pressure specification.

vehicle.
It is important to periodically inspect each tires tread for
wear. Driving with inadequate tread increases the risk
of loosing control of the vehicle due to hydroplaning on
a wet road surface. It also increases the risk of a flat tire
due to road debris. Extreme tire wear can result in sudden
tire failure and loss of control of the vehicle.
Refer to the maintenance schedule in this manual for the
recommended interval.
Minimum recommended tread depth is 1/16 inch (1.6
mm). There are a series of tread depth wear indicators
around the circumference of the tire. They will appear as
approximately 1/2 inch (12 mm) bands across the tread
as the tire approaches its wear limit (see illustration).
The tire should be replaced if any tread depth indicator
can be seen or any part of the tread depth is 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) or less.
ROTATION
WARNING
This section is one section of a complete service
