mance.
● Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
uid from a sealed container.● Use only the specified brake
fluid; otherwise, the rubber

leakage.● Refill with the same type of
brake uid. Adding a brake u-
id other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.● Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reser-
