NOTE:
After replacing the brake pads, pump the brake pedal a few
times to set the brake parts correctly and then check the brake
fluid level.
* This brake system is filled with an ethylene glycol-based DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not use mix
different types of fluid such as silicone-based or petroleum-based.
* Do not use any brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never reuse brake
fluid left over from the last servicing or stored for long periods.
* When storing the brake fluid, seal the container completely and keep away from children.
* When replenishing brake fluid, take care not to get dust into fluid.
* When washing brake components, use fresh brake fluid. Never use cleaning solvent.
* A contaminated brake disc or brake pad reduces braking performance. Discard contaminated
pads and clean the disc with high quality brake cleaner or neutral detergent.
Handle brake fluid with care: The fluid reacts chemically with paint, plastics, rubber materials
etc. and will damage then severely.
* Do not operate the brake pedal with the pads
removed.
* Replace the brake pads as a set, otherwise braking
performance will be adversely affected.
