Clutch components rarely require disas-
sembly.
Therefore, always follow these preventive
measures:
Never disassemble clutch components un-
less absolutely necessary.
If any connection on the hydraulic clutch
system is disconnected, the entire clutch
system must be disassembled, drained,
cleaned, properly filled, and bled after
reassembly.
Never use solvents on internal clutch com-
ponents.
Use only clean or new clutch fluid for
cleaning clutch components.
Clutch fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt fluid immediately.
Avoid clutch fluid coming into contact with
the eyes as it can cause serious injury.
First aid for clutch fluid entering the eyes:
Flush with water for 15 minutes and get im-
mediate medical attention.
