BRAKE
Brake Fluid
1. Never reuse old brake fluid.
2. Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has or that has been open for
a long time.
3. Do not mix two different brands of fluid for use in the brake. This lowers the brake fluid boiling
point and could cause the brake to be ineffective. It may also cause the rubber brake parts to
deteriorate.
4. Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the
fluid.
5. Don’t change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.
6. Except for the disc pads and disc, use brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning
brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any other
petroleum distillate will cause deterioration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any parts will be
difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.
7. When handing the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them.
Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high flash-point
solvent. Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfactorily.
8. Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surface; any spilled fluid should be completely washed away
immediately.
9. If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED
FROM THE BRAKE LINE.
Brake Fluid Recommendation
Recommended fluid is given in the table below. If none of the recommended fluid is available, use
extra heavy-duty brake fluid only from a container marked DOT 3 or 4.
WARNING
When working with the disc brake, observe the precautions listed below.
