tained.

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever

can indicate the presence of air in the brake

system. Before the vehicle is operated, the

air must be removed by bleeding the brake

system. Air in the brake system will consid-

erably reduce braking performance and

could result in loss of control and possibly

an accident. Therefore, inspect and, if nec-

essary, bleed the brake system.

After adjusting the brake lever free play,

make sure that there is no brake drag.
