CAUTION:

All hoses and piping (tubes) must be free from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.

Make sure there is no interference with other parts when turning steering both clockwise and
counterclockwise.

The brake piping is an important safety part. If a brake fluid leak is detected, always disassemble
the parts. Replace applicable part with a new one, if necessary.

Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it way cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.

Do not bend or twist brake hose sharply, or strongly pull it.

When removing components, cover connections so that no dirt, dust, or other foreign matter gets
in.

Refill with new brake fluid “ DOT 3 ”.

Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
