WARNING
Proper brake hose routing is essential to
insure safe vehicle operation. Refer to
“CABLE ROUTING” in chapter 2.
CAUTION:
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake caliper
, make sure the brake pipe
touches the projection
on the brake
caliper.
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 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 brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing 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.
4. Bleed:
• brake system
Refer to “BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC
BRAKE SYSTEM” in chapter 3.
