WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu
-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
• When pouring the brake fluid, 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.
