WARNING–
• You must use new brake fluid (SAE J1703f or FMVSS No.116
DOT3).
• Do not add different quality fluid or mineral oil (gas oil, engine oil,
gear oil, automatic transmission fluid, etc.) to the brake system,
because this will cause the rubber parts of the brake system to
swell, resulting in brake dragging or ineffective braking.
• Be sure not to allow dirt or water to become mixed into brake
fluid when refilling, because this will cause the brake to
malfunction.
• If you use a mug for adding brake fluid, keep it solely for that
purpose to prevent contamination from different quality fluids or
mineral oils.
CAUTION–
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on related parts as this could
damage the paintwork.
• Be sure to wipe off brake fluid immediately if you splash it on the
paintwork.
NOTE
Supply brake fluid to maintain the “H” level of the brake fluid tank
always.
