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.
Do not mix two different kinds or makes of fluid to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
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.
