CAUTION:
Disc brake componets rarely require dis-

Tehrefore, always follow these preven-
tive measures:
S Never disassemble brake components
unless absolutely necessary.
S If any connection on the hydraulic
brake system is disconnected, the en-
tire brake system must be disas-
sembled, drained, cleaned, properly
filled, and bled after reassembly.
S Never use solvents on internal brake
components.
S Use only clean or new brake fluid for
cleaning brake components.
S Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces and plastic parts. Therefore, al-
ways clean up any spilt fluid immedi-
ately.
S Avoid brake fluid coming into contact
with the eyes as it can cause serious in-
jury.
First aid for brake fluid entering the eyes:
S Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.
