Top-Up - APRILIA SX 125 Service Station Manual

Maintenance

Top-up

•
The following operations refer to one
braking system but they are valid for
both braking systems:
1. Front brake fluid reservoir (1);
2. Rear brake fluid reservoir (2).
CAUTION
RISK OF BRAKE FLUID SPILLS. DO NOT PULL THE
BRAKE LEVER WHEN THE COVER FIXING SCREWS ARE
LOOSE OR, MAINLY, WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID RESER-
VOIR COVER HAS BEEN REMOVED.
•
Undo and remove the two screws fixing the brake fluid reservoir cover.
CAUTION
AVOID PROLONGED AIR EXPOSURE OF THE BRAKE FLUID. BRAKE FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC
AND ABSORBS MOISTURE WHEN IN CONTACT WITH AIR. LEAVE THE BRAKE FLUID RESER-
VOIR OPEN ONLY FOR THE TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TOPPING-UP PROCEDURE.
•
Depending on whether you are work-
ing on the front (1) or the rear (2) brake
reservoir, lift and remove the relevant
cover (3 or 5) and gasket (4 or 6).
TO AVOID SPILLING FLUID WHILE TOPPING-UP, KEEP
THE TANK PARALLEL TO THE RESERVOIR EDGE (IN
HORIZONTAL POSITION).
DO NOT ADD ADDITIVES OR OTHER SUBSTANCES TO
THE FLUID.
WHEN USING A FUNNEL OR ANY OTHER ELEMENT,
MAKE SURE IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAN.
