Proceed as follows:
Loosen the screw "
B " and lift the plastic cover " A " in order to access the brake fluid
reservoir. Loosen the two fixing screws and remove the reservoir cover; top-up with
the recommended fluid without exceeding the 'MAX.' mark.
This procedure applies to the rear brake pump top-up operation; follow the same pro-
cedure for the front brake pump.
Under normal climatic conditions, the fluid must be changed every 20,000 km or any-
way every two years.
This operation must be carried out by trained technicians; please contact your nearest
Authorised PIAGGIO Dealer or Service Centre .
WARNING
ONLY USE DOT 4-CLASSIFIED BRAKE FLUID. BRAKE CIRCUIT FLUID IS VERY
CORROSIVE; MAKE SURE THAT IT DOES NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH
THE PAINTWORK.
CAUTION
AVOID CONTACT OF BRAKE FLUID WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. IN
CASE OF CONTACT, RINSE WITH WATER. THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS
HYGROSCOPIC, THAT IS, IT ABSORBS HUMIDITY FROM THE SURROUNDING
AIR. IF THE HUMIDITY IN THE BRAKING FLUID EXCEEDS A CERTAIN VALUE,
IT WILL LEAD TO INEFFICIENT BRAKING. NEVER USE BRAKING FLUID KEPT
IN CONTAINERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN OPENED, OR PARTIALLY USED.
