CAUTION
When topping up, never exceed the
“MAX” level.
Top up to “MAX” only when new pads
are installed.
a
CAUTION
Do not fill the reservoir to “MAX” with
worn pads; this will cause fluid to over-
flow the reservoir when the pads are re-
newed.
NOTE
In order to fill the reservoir to the
“MAX” level, top up until the “MAX” mark is
parallel with the brake fluid reservoir top
parallel to the ground.
a
WARNING
Use only DOT 5 or 4 fluid taken from a
clean, sealed container. Never reuse
used brake fluid.
◆
Top up the reservoir with brake fluid, un-
til the fluid reaches the “MAX” mark.
◆
Replace the gasket (3) in its seat correct-
ly.
◆
Replace and tighten the reservoir filler
cap (2).
a
CAUTION
After servicing the brakes, always
check them for function. If the stroke of
the pedal is excessive, or if you detect
that the effectiveness of the brakes is
reduced in any way, have your vehicle
serviced by your Local
APRILIA
Dealer.
It may be necessary to have your dealer
bleed the system, or there may be some
other problem with the brake system.
Never ride your vehicle in traffic imme-
diately after servicing the brakes. Al-
ways apply the brake pedal several
times before riding your vehicle. Then,
try your vehicle in a parking lot or other
safe area with little traffic to ensure that
the brakes are working properly. Fail-
ure to observe this warning can lead to
a serious accident with subsequent se-
rious injury or death.
