BRAKE TUBE AND HOSEPFP:46300
Hydraulic CircuitNFS0000B
CAUTION:

Make sure it does not twist or break when being attached.

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

The brake tube 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.

Do not let brake fluid come in contact with painted surfaces on the body. This might damage the
paint, so if it does come in contact, immediately wipe area and wash off with water.

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 “ DOT 3 ”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
