NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be used.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
WARNING
●
Use only the recommended brake fluid;
otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
●
Refill with the same type of brake fluid;
mixing fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor per-
formance.
●
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in a vapor lock.
