TOPPING UP

Carefully read page 33 (BRAKE FLUID -
recommendations).
Brake fluid may spill out. Do not operate
the rear brake lever if the brake fluid
reservoir plug has been loosened or
removed.
Avoid prolonged exposure of brake
fluid to air.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and will
absorb moisture from the air.
Keep the brake fluid reservoir open
JUST LONG ENOUGH to top up level.
Unscrew and remove the plug (2).
