NOTICE
• Spilling fluid can damage painted, plastic or rub-
ber parts. Place
a
rag over these parts whenever
the system is serviced.
NOTE:
• Do not mix different types of fluid, as they may
not be compatible with each other.
• Do not allow foreign material to enter the system
when filling the reservoir.
• When the fluid level is low, check the brake pads
for wear (page 4-19). A low fluid level may be
due to worn brake pads. If the brake pads are
worn, the caliper piston is pushed out, and this
causes a low reservoir level. If the brake pads are
not worn and the fluid level is low, check entire
system for leaks (page 4-20).
Release the retaining straps and open the front
OOVER
hood .
Check the fluid level of the reservoir.
If the level is near the
~M I N ~
level line, remove the
cap cover and the reservoir cap, and fill the reser-
voir with DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container
to the "MAX" level tine.
Install the reservoir cap so the arrow faces forward.
