Checking the brake fl uid
If the brake fl uid level is too low, air can enter the system which will either reduce the
brakes’ effi ciency or cause them to stop functioning. Before you drive, always check the
brake fl uid level on both hand-operated brakes.
Important:
• There must be no impurities in the brake fl uid. Before you fi ll up with brake fl uid,
ensure that the area around the fi ller cap is clean. Filling up with brake fl uid
must also take place in an area where the air is free from airborne pollutants.
• Used only recommended brake fl uid. Incorrect brake fl uid can damage rubber
seals and hoses which will cause leakages and ineffi cient braking.
• Ensure that no water is mixed in with the brake fl uid,
as this will lower its boiling point.
Vaporisation which occurs when brake fl uid boils leads to ineffi cient braking
or no braking effect at all.
• Brake fl uid is highly corrosive on paint and plastic and spilled brake fl uid
must therefore be wiped away immediately.
Changing the brake fl uid
Brake fl uid is a hygroscopic fl uid which means that it absorbs water from the ambient
air. As already mentioned, this will cause a reduction in the boiling point for the brake
fl uid. Furthermore, water mixed in with brake fl uid leads to corrosion in the
braking system. For these reasons, brake fl uid must be changed every two years.
This should be carried out by an expert.
