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. If brake fluid is splashed, wipe it off and flush area with water immediately.
- Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
- Use flare nut wrench when removing brake tube and use flare nut torque wrench when installing brake tube.
- 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 connector of VDC/TCS/ABS control unit or battery negative terminal.
- When installing brake piping, be sure to check torque.
WARNING:
Clean brakes with a vacuum dust collector to minimize risk of health hazard from powder caused by friction.
