Brake Fluid

Inspect the brake system routinely. Inspect the brake fluid level before each operation. If the
level drops between fluid checks, add brake fluid as needed. Your authorized dealer can
provide service.
WARNING! After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion. Never store or
use a partial bottle. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The
moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade
and the possibility of accident or severe injury.
Change the brake fluid every two years and any time the fluid becomes contaminated, the
fluid level is below the minimum, or if the type and brand of the fluid in the reservoir are
unknown. Always use DOT4 brake fluid.
