CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE FRONT BRAKE
FLUID
Check the level of the brake fluid through
sight A. The level of the fluid should never
fall below the mark in the sight.
RESTORING THE LEVEL OF THE FRONT
BRAKE FLUID
To restore the level of the brake fluid, loosen
the two screws 1, lift cap 2 and add brake
fluid (BARDAHL BRAKE FLUID DOT 4) until
its level is 5 mm below the upper rim of
the reservoir.
WARNING
We recommend using DOT 4 brake fluid.
Should this fluid be unavailable, use DOT
5.1 fluid instead. Do not on any account
use DOT 5 brake fluid. This is a purple fluid
with a base of silicone oil which requires
special seals and tubes.
WARNING
The brake fluid is extremely corrosive. Take
care not to spill it on the paintwork.
