WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the brake
system. Before the vehicle is operated, the
air must be removed by bleeding the brake

erably reduce braking performance.

WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.

is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.
