A
WARNING
Use only brake
fluid in conformity with pre-
scribed standards, otherwise the rubber gas-
kets
risk
deteriorating, causing
fluid
leakage
and poor brake performance.
Always
use the
same brand
of
fluid.
The
mixing of fluids could
provoke
a
chemical
reaction
which
would,
in turn, result in
poor
brake performance.
When
adding
fluid
be sure that
no
water or
foreign
bodies
enter the
fluid
tank. Water
would lower
the boiling point, generating
vapour bubbles during braking.
