incorporates
a hydraulic

reservoir
through
which
the
brake
system
is periodically
serviced.
Fluid
is drawn
from
the
reservoir
by
the brake
cylinders
to maintain
the
volume
of
fluid required
for maximum
braking
efficiency.
Spongy
brake
pedal
action
is
often
an indication
that the
brake
fluid
reservoir
is
running
low
on fluid.
Instructions
for
filling
the reservoir
are given
in
Paragraph
2-31.
When
found
necessary
to accomplish
repairs
to
any of
the brake
system
components,
or to bleed
the
system,
these
instructions
may
be found
in Section
