Brake Fluid

WARNING
△
When working with the disc brake, observe the precautions
listed below.
1.Never reuse old brake fluid.
2.Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has or that has been
open for a long time.
3.Do not mix two types and brand of fluid for use in the brake. This lowers the brake fluid
boiling point and could cause the brake to be ineffective. It may also cause the rubber brake
parts to deteriorate.
4.Don't leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the
fluid.
5.Don't change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.
6.Except for the disc pads and disc, use brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for
cleaning brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine
oil, or any other petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled
on any parts will be difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber
used in the disc brake.
7.When handing the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on
them. Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high
flash-point solvent. Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.
8.Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surface; any spilled fluid should be completely washed away
immediately.
9.If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE
BLED FROM THE BRAKE LINE.

Brake Fluid Recommendation

Recommended fluid is given in the table below. If none of the recommended fluid is
