FOREWORD
Hydraulic brake fluid
Use only DOT 4 Super hydraulic brake fluid from sealed containers. Do NOT leave the bottles of
DOT fluid open for a long time as this product absorbs moisture in the air and this will change its
physical properties, seriously affecting the efficiency of the brakes. Change the oil in the system
every year to maximize performance (see Draining in the instructions manual -
http://support.formula-brake.com
.)
WARNING:
Besides damaging paint, the brake system’s fluid is extremely haz-
ardous if it comes in contact with the eyes or skin.
Always wear latex gloves when handling.
In the event of eye contact flush with fresh water and seek medical assistance
immediately. In the event of leakage or accidental contact with the DOT4 brake
fluid, please refer to the safety sheet available on the internet at:

General lubricants
Use silicon grease for EPDM seals. FORMULA SRL recom-
mends: UNISILKON TKN 1011 by KLUBER or KLUBER SYN-
THESO GLEP 1.
CAUTION:
Do not use any type of lubricants in the
area of the piston operating pin (shown by the arrow
in the figure) because it includes EPDM O-Rings.
CAUTION:
Use of inappropriate type of grease may
compromise the integrity of the seals and cause dam-
age to the system and therefore to the user.
Loctite® for screw lock
We recommend using medium strength Loctite® (Loctite®
222 or 242) (where indicated) on all threaded fasteners.
After applying Loctite® and fitting the fastener, clean any
excess Loctite® with a cloth. Let the Loctite® dry for at least
24 hours BEFORE use.
WARNING:
The Loctite® used in some parts found in this product can be dan-
gerous if it comes into contact with your eyes or skin.
