FRONT AND REAR BRAKES
WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
• Other brake fluids may cause the rubber seals
to deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that is
already in the system. Mixing brake fluids may
result in a harmful chemical reaction, leading
to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does not
enter the reservoir. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the brake fluid and
could cause vapor lock.

Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces and
plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any
spilt brake fluid immediately.
