a filler plug orifice until it rests gently on top of the separators.
Sufficient water will pour into the cell to bring the electrolyte to
its correct level. Check each cell in turn.

CAUTION. Never use a naked light when examining the

battery. The mixture of oxygen and hydrogen given off
by the battery is dangerously explosive.

Brake and Clutch Master Cylinders 

(Figs. 71 and 72)

Wipe the master cylinder caps clean, remove them and check

the fluid level in the clutch (2) and brake (1) master cylinder
reservoirs. If necessary, top up the fluid until it is level with the
marking on the side of the reservoirs. Ensure that the breather
hole in the raised centre of each cap is unobstructed before
refitting the caps.

NOTE. As the brake pads wear, the level of fluid in the master

cylinder falls. The addition of fluid to compensate for pad
wear is unnecessary. Should the level have fallen
appreciably, check the condition of the pads. If their
condition is satisfactory establish the cause of loss and
rectify the defect immediately. Refer to page 68, "Proce-
dure for Bleeding".
