Hydraulic Brakes - Fluid Precautions
The SmartTrac
™
brake system consists of two completely
separate hydraulic systems operating with two different
and incompatible fluids:
power steering fluid and hydraulic
brake fluid.
Failure to observe precautions preventing the
contamination of either system with fluid from the other will
result in swelling and deterioration of rubber parts leading to
reduced brake performance and eventual brake failure.
NOTE: Use only DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid that is properly
identified in a sealed container. Avoid brake fluid contact
with painted surfaces. It will damage the paint.
The following should always be observed to avoid fluid
contamination. Use only properly identified and specified (or
equivalent) fluids, and add fluids only to the following locations:
•
Brake fluid to the brake master cylinder
•
Power steering fluid to the power steering fluid pump
reservoir

Chassis Inspection
Regular maintenance and replacement of worn, loose, or
damaged parts will usually prevent more serious problems from
developing later.
The lubrication and maintenance intervals present a good
opportunity to inspect the vehicle. Refer to the
Lubrication and
Maintenance Intervals Chart
