WARNING
Disc brake components rarely require disas-
sembly. Therefore, always follow these pre-
ventive measures:
Never disassemble brake components un-
G
less absolutely necessary.
If any connection on the hydraulic brake
G
system is disconnected, the entire brake
system must be disassembled, drained,
cleaned, properly filled, and bled after reas-
sembly.
Never use solvents on internal brake com-
G
ponents.
Use only clean or new brake fluid for clean-
G
ing brake components.
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
Avoid brake fluid coming into contact with
G
the eyes as it can cause serious injury.
FIRST AID FOR BRAKE FLUID ENTERING
THE EYES:
Flush with water for 15 minutes and get im-
mediate medical attention.
