Brake Fluid: Service and Repair

WARNING: AVOID SKIN/EYE CONTACT OR INGESTION OF BRAKE FLUID. IF SKIN OR EYES ARE ACCIDENTALLY SPLASHED WITH BRAKE FLUID, RINSE THE AFFECTED AREA IMMEDIATELY WITH PLENTY OF WATER AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.

CAUTION: Fluid must not be allowed to contact the vehicle paint. Remove any spilt fluid from the paint by rinsing away with running water. Methylated spirit (denatured alcohol) must not be used to clean the contaminated area.





CHECKING THE FLUID LEVEL
Correct brake fluid level is essential for the efficient operation of the brake system. Check that the fluid level is between the MAX and MIN marks on the fluid reservoir. Top up if necessary with recommended brake fluid.

NOTE: The efficiency of the brakes may be impaired if fluid is used which does not meet specifications. Use ONLY brake and clutch fluid that conforms to a minimum DOT 4 specification. Also do not use brake fluid that has been exposed to atmosphere for any length of time. Moisture absorbed from the atmosphere impairs the efficiency of the brake fluid.
