* The brake system is illed with an glycol-based brake fluid, which is classified DOT 4. Do not
use or mix other types of brake fluid, such as silicone-based and petroleum-based brake fluids
when refilling the brake system, otherwise serious damage to the brake system will result.
* Do not use any brake fluid taken from old, used, or unsealed containers.
* Do not reuse brake fluid left over from the last servicing or which has been stored for a long
period of time.
* When storing brake fluid, be sure to seal the container completely and keep it out of the reach
of children.
* When replenishing brake fluid, be sure not to get any dust or other foreign materials in the fluid.
* When washing brake components, always use new brake fluid. Do not use cleaning solvent.
* A contaminated brake disc or brake pad reduces braking performance. Discard contaminated
pads and clean the brake disc with high-quality brake cleaner or a neutral detergent.
!
Handle brake fluid with care: the fluid reacts chemically with paint, plastics, rubber material, etc.
