MAINTENANCE WORK ON CHASSIS AND ENGINE
85
Warning
Danger of accidents Reduced braking due to use of non-approved brake linings.
–
Brake linings available from accessory suppliers are often not tested and approved for use on KTM vehicles. The construction
and friction factor of the brake linings and therefore the brake power can differ considerably from the original KTM brake lin-
ings. If brake linings are used that differ from the originals, there is no guarantee that they comply with the original license.
The vehicle no longer corresponds to the condition at delivery, and the warranty is no longer valid.
Warning
Environmental hazard Problem materials cause environmental damage.
–
Dispose of oil, grease, filters, fuel, cleaning substances, brake fluid, batteries, etc., according to regulations.
Info
Never user DOT 5 brake fluid! This is based on silicone oil and is colored purple. 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!
Use only clean brake fluid from a sealed container!
