CLEANING AND INSPECTION
11 1
WARNING
Clean brake system components using denatured alco-
hol. Do not use mineral-base cleaning solvents, such as
gasoline or paint thinner. Use of mineral-base solvents
causes deterioration of rubber parts that continues after
assembly. This could result in improper brake operation
which could result in death or serious injury.
1. Clean all parts with denatured alcohol or D.O.T. 4
BRAKE FLUID. Do not contaminate with mineral oil or
other solvents. Wipe dry with a clean, lint free cloth. Blow
out drilled passages and bore with a clean air supply. Do
not use a wire or similar instrument to clean drilled pas-
sages in bottom of reservoir.
2. Carefully inspect all parts for wear or damage and
replace as necessary.
3. Inspect piston bore in master cylinder housing for scor-
ing, pitting or corrosion. Replace housing if any of these
conditions are found.
