MAINTENANCE
It is essential that the master cylinder is at
least half
full
of Lockheed Brake Fluid at
all times, and should be checked every
5,000
miles
(8,000
km.).
Only Lockheed Brake Fluid should be used
in this system. This fluid has been selected
as it has no injurious effects on the rubber
seals and flexible hoses used.
Before removing the
filler cap, wipe the top
of the master cylinder and the cap clean
with a non-fluffy material. Cleanliness is
particularly important and every pre-
caution should be taken to ensure no dirt or
foreign matter is allowed to enter the
system. Failure to observe this point may
lead to blockages
;
damage to the highly
polished bores and pistons, resulting in
expensive replacements.
Ensure also that the breather hole in the
filler cap is not restricted and that the seal-
ing washer and pipe lines are
in
good
order.
