Do not allow brake fluid to contact your eyes, clothes, or painted surfaces. Brake
fluid is extremely corrosive and can cause severe personal injury. Wear protective
eye goggles, gloves and clothing. If brake fluid contacts your eyes, consult a
physician immediately.
Brake Fluid Inspection
Regular inspection of the brake fluid is very important. Low fluid levels can cause a
reduction or loss in braking ability; high fluid levels, or brake fluid contaminated
with oil, dirt, or water, can damage the seals or other component parts of the
hydraulic brake system.
Use only Dot 5 silicon brake fluid. Other brake fluids may not be compatible with
ARGO brake components and operating temperatures.
Inspecting the Brake Fluid Condition
1. Locate the master cylinder in the engine compartment. It is located at the top of the
transmission.
To access the master cylinder cover, remove the hood assembly. You can then remove
the cover screws with a screwdriver
2. Clean the casing and lid of the master cylinder. This will prevent dirt or other con-
taminants from entering the reservoir.
3. Using a screwdriver, unfasten the cover screws and remove the cylinder cover and
gasket.
Maintenance Schedule- Inspect every 50 hours of vehicle operation.
