Brake Fluid Replacement - Massimo Alligator 700-4 Owner's Manual

The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood. (See pages 8-7—8-8 for hood opening
and closing procedures.)
Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level, make sure
the top of the brake fluid reservoir is
level.
Use only the recommended quality brake
fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
braking performance
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor
braking performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
Have a dealer inspect the brake system
if the brake fluid level goes down.

Complete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained service personnel. Have a
