Brake fluid
1. Fill:
Brake fluid
Until the fluid level reaches
“LOWER” level line
a.
WARNING
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid:
otherwise, the rubber seals may
deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
Refill with the same type of
brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor performance.
Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.

cas, en corriger la torsion.

Liquide de frein
1. Remplir:
Liquide de frein
Jusqu’à ce que le liquide atteigne
le repère de niveau “LOWER”
a.
AVERTISSEMENT
Utiliser exclusivement le type de
liquide de frein recommandé:
sinon les joints en caoutchouc ris-
quent de se détériorer, entraînant
des fuites et un mauvais fonctionne-
ment du frein.
Toujours utiliser la même marque
de liquide de frein;
le mélange de liquides de marques
différentes risque de provoquer une
réaction chimique nuisible au fonc-
tionnement du frein.
Veiller à ce que, lors du remplis-
sage, de l’eau ne pénètre pas dans le
maître-cylindre. En effet, l’eau
abaissera nettement le point d’ébul-
lition du liquide, ce qui risque de
provoquer un bouchon de vapeur.
ATTENTION:
Le liquide de frein peut attaquer les
surfaces peintes et les pièces en plasti-
que. Toujours essuyer immédiatement
toute trace de liquide renversé.
