Check for any leakage or
crack in the brake fluid hoses.
3
、
The front brake lever shall
have a certain back spring force.
4

Brake fluid
Warning
:
It is harmful if brake fluid is
drunk by mistake or contacts the
eyes or skin. If it is drunk by
mistake, spit it out by force. If it
contacts skin or eyes, wash with
plenty of clear water and go to
hospital.
Precaution
:
The vehicle uses ethanol
series brake fluid. It shall not be
mixed with silicate or petroleum
fluids.
Otherwise,
the
brake
system may be seriously damaged.
Never use unpacked fluid or any
fluid
left
over
in
the
last
maintenance, because moisture
may get into the old fluid. Only
DOT 3/4 brake fluid shall be used.
Pay attention not to splash
hydraulic brake fluid onto paint
or plastic surfaces, to prevent
corrosion.
Check the fluid level in the
brake fluid tank. Replenish with
specified hydraulic fluid if the
level is low. Along with wearing of
brake lining, fluid in the tank may
flow to the pipe and the level may
become
low.
Brake
