A contaminated disk or pad reduces braking
power. Do not allow the disk or pad to be
contaminated by oil.
Replace contaminated pads, and remove
pollutants from the disk completely.
Check the brake fluid level often, and replenish
new fluid as required. Do not spill fluid on
painted, plastic or rubber parts.
To prevent chemical changes, do not use different
types of brake fluid.
Check fluid level often, and replenish fluid if the
amount of fluid is reduced to the lower level.
Read the user’s manual carefully prior to
disassembling or using the brake bleeder.
Protect the bleeder valve with tape to prevent air
from entering the bleeder valve.
