WARNING:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never
be stored in an unsealed container. The pres-
ence of water in the braking system will cause
vapour locks and increase the possibility of
brake fade along with promoting corrosion
within the braking system. The brake fluid
must be changed at the specified time or
mileage interval to ensure continued safe
operation of the system. Brake fluid will cause
rapid and serious damage to paintwork. If
accidental spillage occurs, the affected area
must be rinsed with water immediately. Do
not allow brake fluid to come into contact
with the eyes or to be ingested and ensure
that fluid is safely stored away form the reach
of children.
SG130A1-C
CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID
(Not all models)
To Check the Clutch Fluid
The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder should
be checked when performing other under bonnet
checks. The system should be checked for leak-
age at the same time.
Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always be-
tween the "MAX" and "MIN" level markings on
the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid loss
indicates a leak in the clutch system which
should be inspected and repaired immediately.
SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT 3
or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir cap must
be fully tightened to avoid contamination from
foreign matter or moisture.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never
be stored in an unsealed container. Do not
allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid since damage to the rubber
seals of the system may result.
WARNING:
Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious dam-
age to paintwork. If accidental spillage oc-
curs, the affected area must be rinsed with
water immediately. Do not allow brake fluid
to come into contact with the eyes or to be
ingested and ensure that fluid is safely stored
away form the reach of children.

Ensure that the condenser is periodically in-
spected and that accumulations of dirt, dead
insects and leaves etc, are removed to ensure
that the efficiency of the system is not impaired.
Care must be exercised to ensure that the con-
denser fins are not damaged during cleaning.
