BRAKE FLUID

＊
Do not mix different type of fluid, as
they are not compatible with each
other.
Do not allow foreign material to enter
the system when filling the reservoir.
Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic
or rubber parts. Place a rag over these
parts whenever the system is serviced.
When the fluid level is low, check the brake
pads for wear. A low fluid level may be due
to wear of the brake pads. If the brake pads
are worn, the caliper piston is pushed out, and
this accounts for a low reservoir level. If the
brake pads are not worn and the fluid level is
low, check the entire system for leaks.
FRONT BRAKE
Turn the handlebar so the reservoir is level
and check the front brake fluid reservoir
level.
If the level is near the lower level line "L",
check brake pad wear.
REAR BRAKE
Place the scooter on a level surface and
support it in an upright position.
Check the rear brake fluid reservoir level.
If the level is near the lower level line"L",
check brake pad wear.
