HANDBRAKE LEVER
The handbrake lever contains hydraulic fl uid. When the lever is depressed, the fl uid is pushed through the brake
line to engage the brake pads against the brake discs. The handbrake lever is a completely sealed unit, meaning
that the hydraulic fl uid should not leak; however, there are certain safety measures that should be taken if the
handbrake lever becomes cracked or damaged.
Do not touch spilled material unless wearing protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves.
For small spills, cover the material with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible absorbent material. Once
absorbed, enclose the material in a plastic bag and contact your local waste disposal agency for proper disposal
measures. Do not expose the material to waterways or sewers.
If the eyes are exposed, check for and remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with cool, clean, low-pressure water
while occasionally lifting and lowering the eyelids. Seek medical attention if excessive tearing, redness or
pain persists.
If the skin is exposed, remove all contaminated clothing. Wipe off excess material and wash exposed skin
with soap and water. Seek medical attention if skin appears damaged or if irritation persists. Thoroughly clean
contaminated clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated leather goods.
If ingested, do not induce vomiting or give anything to drink unless directed to by a physician. Never give
anything by mouth to a person who is not fully conscious. Seek medical attention immediately.
If inhaled, move the affected individual to fresh air. If the affected individual is not breathing, immediately
begin rescue breathing. If breathing is diffi cult, 100% humidifi ed oxygen should be administered by a qualifi ed
individual. Seek medical attention immediately and keep the affected individual warm and at rest.
If ignited, use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or water fog to extinguish.
WARNING! Do not modify the handbrake lever or attempt to replace the hydraulic fl uid. If damage
occurs, follow the safety information in this section and contact your authorized dealer for
handbrake replacement. The hydraulic handbrake should only be serviced or replaced by your
authorized dealer.
WARNING! The handbrake contains hydraulic fl uid that can cause mild skin, eye and nasal/
bronchial irritation. Do not attempt to adjust or service the handbrake without proper protective
equipment such as safety goggles and gloves and wash hands after handling.
