CAUTION:
Disc brake components rarely require dis-
assembly.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
S Never disassemble brake components un-
less absolutely necessary.
S If any connection on the hydraulic brake
system is disconnected, the entire brake
system must be disassembled, drained,
cleaned, properly filled, and bled after reas-
sembly.
S Never use solvents on internal brake com-
ponents.
S Use only clean or new brake fluid for clean-
ing brake components.
S Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt fluid immediately.
S Avoid brake fluid coming into contact with
the eyes as it can cause serious injury.
First aid for brake fluid entering the eyes:
S Flush with water for 15 minutes and get im-
mediate medical attention.
