leads). Correct if necessary.
CAUTION:

brake master cylinder, make sure the brake
pipe touches the projection
a

master cylinder.
4. Fill:
• brake master cylinder reservoir
(with the specified amount of the recom-
mended brake fluid)
WARNING
_
• Use only the designated brake fluid.
Other brake fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing
brake fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction, leading to poor brake
performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the brake fluid and could
cause vapor lock.

_
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
