CAUTION
Do not spill brake fluid onto any painted surface. Do not use fluid
from a container that has been left open or that has been unsealed
for a long time. Check for fluid leakage around the fittings. Check
for brake line damage.
WARNING
Do not mix brands of fluid. Change the brake fluid in the brake line
completely if the brake fluid must be refilled with a type other than
the brake fluid already in the reservoirs.
Brake Wear Inspection
If the thickness of either pad is less than 1 mm, replace both pads
in the calliper as a set. Pad replacement should be done by an
authorized GAS GAS dealer.
