16 BRAKE SYSTEM
Warning
Skin irritation
Brake fluid causes skin irritation.
Keep brake fluid out of the reach of children.
Wear suitable protective clothing and safety glasses.
Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with the skin, the eyes or clothing.
Consult a doctor immediately if brake fluid has been swallowed.
Rinse the affected area with plenty of water in the event of contact with the skin.
Rinse eyes thoroughly with water immediately and consult a doctor if brake fluid comes into contact
with the eyes.
If brake fluid spills on to your clothing, change the clothing.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Old brake fluid reduces the braking effect.
Make sure that brake fluid for the front and rear brake is changed in accordance with the service
schedule.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Oil or grease on the brake discs reduces the braking effect.
Always keep the brake discs free of oil and grease.
Clean the brake discs with brake cleaner when necessary.
Warning
Danger of accidents
Brake linings which have not been approved alter the braking efficiency.
Not all brake linings are tested and approved for Husqvarna motorcycles. The structure and friction
coefficient of the brake linings, and thus their brake power, may vary greatly from that of original brake
linings.
If brake linings are used that differ from the original equipment, compliance with the original homolo
gation is not guaranteed. In this case, the vehicle no longer corresponds to its condition at delivery
and the warranty shall be void.
Only use brake linings approved and recommended by Husqvarna motorcycles.
Warning
Environmental hazard
Hazardous substances cause environmental damage.
Dispose of oils, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning agents, brake fluid, etc., correctly and in compliance
with the 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.
Only use clean brake fluid from a sealed container.
