CAUTION:
_
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled

_
• Use only the designated quality brake
fluid: other brake fluids may deteriorate
the rubber seals, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid:
mixing brake fluids may result in a harm-
ful reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
