If the level nears the lower level mark, fill the re-
servoir with DOT-3 or DOT-4 BRAKE FLUID to
the upper level mark.
Check the entire system for leaks, if the level is low.

bar has been turned so that the reservoir is
level.

cap removed. Brake fluid will squirt out if
the lever is pulled.

are not compatible.

assure even disc pressure.
