WARNING
Use denatured alcohol to clean brake system compo-
nents. Do not use mineral-based solvents (such as gaso-
line or paint thinner), which will deteriorate rubber parts
even after assembly. Deterioration of these components
can cause brake failure, which could result in death or
serious injury. (00291a)
