WARNING
●
Use only the recommended 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.
Mixing brake fluids may result in a harm-
ful chemical reaction and lead to poor
performance.
●
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
