Precautions For Brake System

Recommended fluid is brake fluid DOT 3.
Never reuse drained brake fluid.
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of hydraulic system.

Always torque brake lines when installing.
Before working, turn the ignition switch Off and disconnect the connectors for the ABS actuator and VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or the battery terminals.
Burnish the brake contact surfaces after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to Brake Burnishing Procedure.

WARNING: Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
