Brake Fluid Precautions
Using the wrong fluid or allowing air or contaminants into the fluid system can damage the system
seals or result in a malfunction that could lead to serious injury or death. Use only DOT 4 brake fluid
from a sealed container.
Do not operate the front brake with the reservoir cover removed. Fluid could overflow from the reservoir
and allow air to enter the system. Air in the brake system could cause the brakes to malfunction.
An over-full reservoir may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could result in serious injury or
death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.
NOTICE:
Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Always clean spilled brake fluid
immediately with water and a mild detergent.
