13.Brake Fluid

A: INSPECTION

1) Check that the brake fluid level is between "MIN"

and "MAX". If out of the specified range, refill or

drain fluid. If the fluid level is close to "MIN", check

the brake pad for wear and refill the fluid.

2) Check the fluid for discoloration. If the fluid color

has changed excessively, drain the fluid and refill

with new fluid.

B: REPLACEMENT

• Do not let brake fluid come into contact with

the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash

away with water immediately and wipe off if it is

spilled by accident.

• Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands

to prevent fluid performance from degrading.

• Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the

reservoir tank.

• During the operation, keep the reservoir tank

filled with brake fluid to eliminate entry of air.

• Operate the brake pedal slowly.

• For convenience and safety, two people should

work together.

• The required amount of brake fluid is approxi-

mately 500 m2 (16.9 US fl oz, 17.6 Imp fl oz) for

the entire brake system.

1) Lift up the vehicle and set rigid racks at the spec-

ified locations, or keep the vehicle lifted.

2) Remove both the front and rear wheels.

3) Drain brake fluid from the reservoir tank.

4) Refill the reservoir tank with the recommended

brake fluid.
