Notes on brakefluid
Observethe notes on operatingfluids(→page 468).
&WARNINGRisk of an accident duetovapor pocketsforming inthe brake sys‐tem
The brakefluid constantly absorbs moisturefromthe air. This lowersthe boiling point ofthe brakefluid. Ifthe boiling point istoo low,vapor pockets mayforminthe brake systemwhenthe brakes are applied hard.
This causesthe braking effecttobeimpaired.
#Havethe brakefluidrenewed atthespecified intervals.
