Tighten the union bolt while holding the brake

CAUTION:
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
brake fluid immediately.
WARNING
• Use only the designated quality brake
fluid: other brake fluids may deteriorate
the rubber seals, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.

mixing brake fluids may result in a harm-
ful chemical reaction and lead to poor
brake performance.
• Be careful that water does not enter the
brake master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling

vapor lock.
