2. Fill:
• brake fluid reservoir
WARNINGWARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rub-
ber seals to deteriorate, causing leak-
age 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.
ACHTUNG:CAUTION:
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces and plastic parts. Therefore,
always clean up any spilt brake fluid
immediately.
3. Bleed:
• brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” in chapter 3.
