Safety Precautions
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury or death.
• Read and understand the Operation Manual completely before operating this unit.
• Always wear proper eye and skin protection when operating and maintaining this equipment.
• Only disassemble or reassemble unit parts when directed by an MAHLE representative.
• Clean any spills that may occur immediately. Brake fluid is corrosive and is a high slip hazard.
• Avoid exposure with painted surfaces. Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage the finish on most
painted surfaces. Use of fender covers is recommended.
• Always use vehicle specified brake fluid. Failure to do so may cause brake system damage. The
BFX is designed to use DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Use of any other fluid type is not recommended and
may void warranty.
• Comply with local, state and federal regulations for fluid disposal.
•
Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) must be obtained on all chemicals and placed in a shop file
for reference. Note: MSDS can be found on the MAHLE web site www.servicesolutions.mahle.com.
• It is important to test drive every vehicle after the service to verify proper brake system operation.
Failure to do so could result in undetected brake system failure.
CAUTION: Failure to follow the precautions as outlined in the Operation Manual can result in
damage to the engine, vehicle or equipment which will not be supported or covered
under warranty.
