• Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
• Contaminated brake discs or pads reduce stopping ability.
• When reusing the pads, always reinstall the brake pads in their original positions to prevent loss of braking efficiency.
CAUTION:
• Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off imme·
diately with water.
NOTE:
•
To prevent spills, cover the hose joints with rags or shop towels.
