In case of replacement or overhauling of the bra-
ke discs, it is necessary to check their fluttering .
This control is done using a suitable gauge which
should never exceed a reading of 0.2 mm (.0079" ).
If the "fluttering " is higher, have the discs che-
cked in a shop of one of our dealers.
Checking the fluid level and
replacing the brake fluid in the
reservoirs (master cylinder)
(fig . 16 and 17)
For proper braking operation, the following in-
structions should be observed:
1 Periodically check the fluid level in the reser-
voir. This level should always be over the tran-
sparent section of the reservoir " C ...
2 Periodically check and top up fluid reservoir
"A .. , after loose ning plug "D .. and removing the
diaphragm (see fig . 16).
The fluid level in the reservo ir for the left front
brake and rear brake is ind icated by warning

Use only f luid taken from an original container
to be opened just before pouring in.
3 Change all the braking fluid every 15.000 km
(9000 mi les) or at least once a year.
For good brake operation, it is necessary for the
fluid ducts to be always full of airless fluid.
A long and elastic movement of control lever " B ..
indicates the presence of air bubb les in the ducts.
To wash the braking circuits use only fresh fluid ,
Never use alcohol for washing or compressed
air to dry. For metal parts use trichloroethylene .

Bleeding the air from the
braking circuits
