Warning

–
Always keep the brake discs free of oil and grease, and clean them with brake cleaner when necessary.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Reduced braking efficiency due to the use of non-approved brake linings.
–
Brake linings available in accessories stores often have not been tested and approved for use in Husqvarna vehicles. The
structure and fiction coefficient of the brake linings and thus their brake power may vary greatly from that of original Husq-
varna bake linings. If brake linings that differ from the original equipment are used, it cannot be guaranteed that these are in
keeping with the original homologation. In this case, the vehicle will not correspond to its condition at delivery and the war-
ranty shall be void.
Warning
Environmental hazard
Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
–
Oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaners, brake fluid, etc., should be disposed of as stipulated in applicable regulations.
Info
Never use DOT 5 brake fluid. It is silicone-based and purple in color. Oil seals and brake lines are not designed for DOT 5 brake
fluid.
Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted parts. Brake fluid attacks paint!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
