CHECKS BEFORE RIDING
Senza titolo-2 27 21/12/2015 15:49:56
If the fluid level in the tank is close to
minimum, make a visual check of brake
pad wear. If the brake pads are not
worn, there may be a leak in the hydrau-
lic circuit. Contact a Benelli assistance
centre for an inspection as soon as
possible.
Incorrect maintenance may cause a
brake capacity reduction.
Respect the following precautions:
• Insufficient brake fluid may cause air to
enter the brake circuit, causing a re-
duction in brake performance.
• Clean the filler cap before removing it.
Only use DOT 4 brake fluid.
• Only use the prescribed brake fluid, as
the specifications. Any other type could
cause the rubber seals to deteriorate,
leading to leaks.
• Top up with the same type of brake
fluid. Adding a different type of brake
fluid from DOT 4 may cause a noxious
reaction.
• Do not allow water or dust to enter the
brake fluid tank while refilling.
Brake fluid can damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts.
Clean any spilled liquids immediately.
Since brake pads become worn, it is
normal for the fluid level in the tank to
drop gradually. If the brake fluid level is
low it is possible that the brake pads are
worn and/or that there is a leak in the
brake circuit; therefore, make sure to
check the brake pads for wear and to
look for leaks in the brake circuit.
Topping up and replacing the
disc brake fluid
Contact an authorised Benelli mecha-
nic.
Check the wear of the brake
pads
Make a visual check of brake pad wear.
The pads are to be replaced if the wear
indicators can no longer be seen.
In this case contact an authorised
Benelli Q.J. mechanic.
