WAR NIN G:
Do not deform the brake tube.
CAUTION:

Before removal and installation the accelerator and brake pedals must be in the forward most
position (closest to the floor). This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake ped-
als.

Do not disassemble the brake pedal adjusting mechanism.

Avoid damage from dropping the brake pedal assembly during handling.

Keep the brake pedal assembly away from water.

CAUTION:

Before removal and installation the accelerator and brake
pedals must be in the forwardmost position (closest to
the floor). This is to align the base position of the accelerator and brake pedals.

Do not disassemble the brake pedal adjusting mechanism.

Avoid damage from dropping the brake pedal assembly during handling.

Keep the brake pedal assembly away from water.

CAUTION:

All hoses and tubes must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.

The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble
the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.

splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.

When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets
in.

Refill with new brake fluid. Refer to MA-11, "RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
