(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 3 or 4
WARNING
Use only the designated brake fluid.
G
Other brake fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid
G
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 signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the brake
fluid and could cause vapor lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
