WARNING
Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the
fluid system can damage the system seals or result in a
malfunction that could lead to serious injury or death. Use only
DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container.
Do not operate the front brake with the reservoir cover removed.
Fluid could overflow from the reservoir and allow air to enter the
system. Air in the brake system could cause the brakes to
malfunction.
An over-full reservoir may cause brake drag or brake lock-up,
which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid
at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
NOTICE
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and plastic parts.
Always clean spilled brake fluid immediately with water and a
mild detergent.
