●
While holding the brake hose, tighten the
union bolt as shown.

3.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 reservoir. Water will signifi-
cantly 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.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 3 or 4
