BRAKES
Workshop Manual Ed. 07-2012
Changing the fluid
Brake fluid should be checked and changed as per the "Maintenance Chart"
(see Section B), or earlier if contaminated with debris or water.
Do not change brake fluid in the rain or with a strong wind.
Use only fluid taken from a sealed container (DOT 4). Never reuse
brake fluid.
Avoid the ingress of contaminants such as dirt, water, etc. into the
reservoir.
Do not keep the reservoir open without its cover longer than nec-
essary; this would increase the risk of contamination.
Handle the fluid with care to avoid damage to painted parts.
Do not mix two brands of fluid. This would reduce boil-over point,
leading to loss of braking efficiency or degrading of rubber parts.
Replacement procedure is as follows:
- Take the rubber cap off the bleed valve (1) or (1A).
- Attach a clear plastic hose to the calliper bleed valve and place the other end
of the hose in a vessel.
