Checking the brake fluid in the master
cylinder reservoir
(fig. 15)
To ensure efficient operation of the brakes:
1
Make frequent checks of the fluid level in the front «A» and rear «B» reservoirs.
The level should always be above the minimum mark on the reservoirs.
2
Top up the brake fluid when necessary or at regular intervals. Only use
recommended brake fluid in sealed containers for topping up.
Fluid containers should only be unsealed immediately before they are
about to be used.
3
The fluid in the brake reservoirs should be changed completely after about every
20,000 km, or at least once a year.
To ensure efficient braking there should be no air bubbles in the brake circuit; if the
brake lever has too much travel or a spongy action, this means that there are
bubbles in the brake circuit.
When flushing the Brake circuits, only use fresh brake fluid.
Never use alcohol for flushing or compressed air for drying; we
recommend the use of «trichloroethylene» for metal parts.
Never use mineral oils or greases for lubricating parts. If no suitable lubricant
is available, we recommend the light greasing of the rubber and metal parts with
brake fluid.
Recommended fluid «Agip Brake Fluid DOT 4».
IMPORTANT. Fluid should be handled with care, as it may dissolve
paintwork.
These operations are best carried out by an authorized dealer.
