NOTE
As the brake pads wear, brake fluid level drops,
automatically compensating for wear. There are no
adjustments to perform, but fluid level and pad wear
must be inspected periodically. The system must be
inspected frequently to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
If the brake lever travel become excessive and the
brake pads are not worn beyond the recommended limit
There is probably air in the brake system and it must be
bled. See your authorized dealer for this service.

To prevent damage to the brake system, use only fluid
from a sealed container. Never allow contaminants
(dirt, water, etc.) to enter the brake fluid reservoir.
Brake fluid can damage paint and plastic, so handle
the fluid with care. When adding brake fluid, be sure
the reservoir is horizontal before removing the cover
to prevent accidental spilling.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container.
