Brake Fluid Reservoir Level
The brake fluid reservoir (1) is located under the hood. Raise the hood to check the brake fluid level.
During the brake fluid level inspection, also inspect the following:
• The presence of brake fluid on the exterior surface of the master cylinder indicates a leak.
• The brake fluid reservoir diaphragm (located in the cap) should not have holes or other damage.
BRAKE FLUID
Brake fluid level should be within 1/4-inch (6 mm) from the top of the reservoir
. Also, brake fluid should
be clean with no residue in the bottom of the reservoir or other evidence of contamination.
CAUTION
• Use only DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid. Use of any other type brake fluid is not recommended.
ENGINE OIL
Even though the low oil warning light on the instrument panel should illuminate if the oil level becomes low, the
engine oil level should be checked daily. The vehicle should be on a level surface when the oil is checked. Do not
overfill the engine with oil.
OIL PRESSURE – GASOLINE ENGINE
Kawasaki engine: The Kawasaki gasoline engine has an oil filter that is mounted on a bracket between and in front of
the engine and transmission. Inlet and outlet oil-carrying hoses enable oil circulation to and from the engine.
