CAUTION:

• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

• The brake piping 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 spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.

• Do not allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.

NOTE:

When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spilling.
