CAUTION:
  • Do not let brake fluid come into contact with the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash away with water immediately and wipe off if it is spilled by accident.
  • Avoid mixing brake fluid of different brands or different grades even from the same brand to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
  • Do not reuse drained brake fluid. When refilling brake fluid, always refill new brake fluid.
  • Do not allow dirt or dust to get into the reservoir tank.
  • For convenience and safety, perform the work with 2 people.
  • During the operation, keep the reservoir tank filled with brake fluid at MIN level or higher to prevent entry of air.
