[B] Rear brake
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 flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, 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.
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 reservoir
is horizontal.
