Caution!
NEVER bring brake fluid into contact with fluids
n
containing mineral oil (oil, gasoline, cleaning
fluids). Oils containing minerals damage seals
and sleeves on brake systems.
Brake fluid is poisonous. Due to it's caustic
n
nature, it must also never be brought into contact
with paint.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning that it
n
absorbs moisture from surrounding air, and must
therefore always be stored in air-tight containers.
Rinse off any spilled brake fluid using plenty of
n
water.
Observe disposal regulations!
