the brake oil reservoir body.

CAUTION
AVOID CONTACT OF BRAKE FLUID WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. IN CASE OF CONTACT,
RINSE WITH WATER. THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC, THAT IS, IT ABSORBS
HUMIDITY FROM THE SURROUNDING AIR. IF THE HUMIDITY IN THE BRAKING FLUID EXCEEDS
A CERTAIN VALUE, IT WILL LEAD TO INEFFICIENT BRAKING. NEVER USE BRAKING FLUID
KEPT IN CONTAINERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN OPENED, OR PARTIALLY USED.
WARNING
BRAKE CIRCUIT FLUID IS VERY CORROSIVE; DO NOT LET IT COME INTO CONTACT WITH
PAINTED PARTS.
N.B.
SEE THE BRAKING SYSTEM CHAPTER WITH REGARD TO THE CHANGING OF BRAKE FLUID
AND THE BLEEDING OF AIR FROM THE CIRCUITS.
