CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL/
CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS
• 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 fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
_
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
NOTE:
_
In order to ensure a correct reading of the
brake fluid level, make sure that the top of the
brake master cylinder reservoir is horizontal.
