centre stand
- Use the appropriate spyglass on the pump to
check the level of the brake fluid, as shown in the
photograph
- If the level is below the minimum, fill up by acting
on the two screws shown in the figure.
- Remove the gasket and fill with recommended
brake fluid until the spyglass is completely cov-
ered.
CAUTION
AVOID CONTACT OF BRAKE FLUID WITH EYES, SKIN,

RINSE WITH WATER.
CAUTION
THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS HIGHLY CORROSIVE.
THEREFORE, WHEN TOPPING UP, AVOID LETTING IT
COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE PAINTED PARTS OF
THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS HYGRO-
SCOPIC, THAT IS, IT ABSORBS HUMIDITY FROM THE
SURROUNDING AIR. IF MOISTURE CONTAINED IN THE
BRAKE FLUID EXCEEDS A CERTAIN VALUE, THIS WILL
RESULT IN INEFFICIENT BRAKING.
