BRAKE SYSTEM (Standard)
BRAKE FLUID REPLACEMENT/AIR
BLEEDING
• A contaminated brake disc or pad reduces stop-
ping power. Discard contaminated pads and
clean a contaminated disc with a high quality
brake degreasing agent.
• 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.
• Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
• Do not mix different types of fluid. They are not
compatible.
• Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if
the brake feels spongy, the system must be bled.
• When using a commercially available brake
bleeder, follow the manufacturer's operating
instructions.
