NOTICE
I
Spilled brake fluid will severely damage the plastic parts and painted surfaces. It is also harmful to some rubber parts. Be
careful whenever you remove the reservoir cap; make sure the master cylinder reservoir is horizontal first.
This scooter is equipped with combined brake system that is designed to engage both front and rear brakes when the
rear brake lever is used. This system is connecting the rear brake lever to the front master cylinder with the joint cable
via the mechanical equalizer.
A contaminated brake disclpad and brake drumlshoe reduces stopping power. Discard contaminated pads and shoes,
and clean a contaminated disc and drum with a high quality brake degreasing agent.
Always use fresh DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid from
a
sealed container when servicing the system. Do not mix different
types of fluid as they may not be compatible.
Never allow contaminants (dirt, water, etc.) to enter an open reservoir.
Once the hydraulic system has been opened, or if the brake feels spongy, the system must be bled.
Always check brake operation before riding the scooter.
