EN - 53
WARNING
- Use only the brake fluid
prescribed according to
specification; otherwise,
the rubber seals may dete-
riorate, causing leaks.
- Top up with the same type
of brake fluid. The addition
of a brake fluid other than
DOT 4 can cause a harmful
chemical reaction.
- Avoid water or dust infil -
tration into the brake fluid
reservoir during refueling.
Water causes a significant
reduction in the boiling
point of the liquid and can
cause “vapor lock”, and
dirt can clog the valves of
the ABS hydraulic unit.
WARNING
Brake fluid can damage paint -
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up any spilled
liquid immediately.
As the brake pads wear out, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to gradu-
ally go down. If the brake fluid level is
low, it is possible that the brake pads
are worn and / or that there is a leak
in the brake circuit; therefore, be sure
to check the wear level of the brake
pads and the presence of leaks in the
brake circuit.
If the brake fluid level drops suddenly,
have the vehicle checked by an
Italjet
dealer before continuing to use it.
5.1.o Checking the V-belt
The V-belt must be checked and / or
replaced by an Italjet dealer at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance chart.
5.1.n Changing the brake fluid
Have an Italjet dealer change the
brake fluid every 2 years. Also, have
the seals of the master cylinders and
brake calipers, as well as the brake
hoses, replaced at the intervals listed
below or sooner if they are damaged
or leaking.
- Brake seals: every 2 years
- Brake hoses: every 4 years
