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