& Checking fluid level
Check the fluid level on the outside of the
reservoir. If the level is below "MIN" level
mark, add the recommended clutch fluid
to "MAX" level mark.
Use only clutch fluid from a sealed
container.

eyes because clutch fluid can be
harmful to your eyes. If clutch fluid

them thoroughly with clean water.
