BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
FLUID RECOMMENDATIONS
When adding or replacing the brake fluid, always use a top quality fluid, such as
Delco Supreme II or equivalent DOT-3 flui d. DO NOT allow the master cylinder
reservoir to remain open for long periods of time; brake fluid absorbs moisture
from the air, reducing it s effectiveness and causing corrosion in the lines.
Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring cables
or electrical connections. Brake fl uid will damage paint and electrical
connections. If any fluid is spilled on t he vehicle, flush with water to lessen
damage.
LEVEL CHECK
Fig. 1: Check master cylinder fluid leve l against indicator on side of reservoir.
Fluid level should not be below MIN marking on reservoir.
