TO ENSURE SAFETY
•
If the brake lever is depressed without the pad spacers installed, the pistons will protrude
further than is normal. Use a flat-shaped tool to push back the brake pad, while being
careful not to damage the surface of the brake pads. (If the brake pads are not installed,
use a flat-shaped tool to push the pistons straight back in, while being careful not to
damage them.) If it is difficult to push the brake pads or pistons back, remove the bleed
screws and then try again. (Note that some oil may overflow from the reservoir tank at
this time.)
•
Use isopropyl alcohol, soapy water or a dry cloth when cleaning and carrying out
maintenance of the brake system. Do not use commercially available brake cleaners or
silencing agents. Such substances can cause damage to parts such as seals.
•
Do not remove the pistons when disassembling and cleaning the calipers.
•
If the disc brake rotor is worn, cracked or warped, it should be replaced.
The actual product may differ from the illustration because this manual is
intended mainly to explain the procedures for using the product.
