Correcting the fluid level of the hydraulic clutch

Warning
Skin irritation Brake fluid causes skin irritation.
–
Keep brake fluid out of the reach of children.
–
Wear suitable protective clothing and safety glasses.
–
Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the skin, the eyes or clothing.
–
Consult a doctor immediately if brake fluid has been swallowed.
–
Rinse the affected area with plenty of water in the event of contact with the skin.
–
Rinse eyes thoroughly with water immediately and consult a doctor if brake fluid comes into contact
with the eyes.
–
If brake fluid spills on to your clothing, change the clothing.
Info
The fluid level rises with increasing wear of the clutch facing discs.
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and clutch lines are not
designed for DOT 5 brake fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid corrodes paint.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
