Precautions For Brake System

• Recommended fluid is brake fluid "DOT 3".
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas such as body. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off and flush area with water immediately.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene to clean. They will ruin rubber parts and cause improper operation.
• Using a flare nut crowfoot and torque wrench, securely tighten brake tube flare nuts.
• Brake system is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble the affected part. If a malfunction is detected, replace part with a new one.
• Before working, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect electrical connectors of ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) or battery negative terminal.
• When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
