WARNING
•
Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause piston seals to
deteriorate, and provoke leakage and poor
performance.
•
Refill with the same brake fluid type that is
already in the system. Mixing brake fluids can
result in a harmful chemical reaction, leading
to a defective performance.
•
When refilling, be careful not to drop any
water into the fluid reservoir. The water will
reduce significantly the brake fluid boiling
point, causing air bubbles.
CAUTION:
The brake fluid can damage painted surfaces and
plastic parts. Therefore, always clean any
dropped brake fluid immediately.
NOTE:
To ensure a correct reading of the brake fluid level,
make sure that the reservoir upper part be is at the
horizontal position.
