CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID To Check the Clutch Fluid The clutch fluid level in the master cylinder
should be checked when performing other un- der bonnet checks. The system should bechecked for leakage at the same time.
Ensure that the clutch fluid level is always
between the "MAX" and "MIN" level markingson the fluid reservoir. Fill as required. Fluid lossindicates a leak in the clutch system whichshould be inspected and repaired immediately. SG130B2-E
Adding Fluid
Recommended brake fluid conforming to DOT
3 or DOT 4 should be used. The reservoir capmust be fully tightened to avoid contaminationfrom foreign matter or moisture.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is hygroscopic and should never
be stored in an unsealed container. Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminatethe brake fluid since damage to the rubberseals of the system may result.
WARNING: Brake fluid will cause rapid and serious
damage to paintwork. If accidental spillage occurs, the affected area must be rinsedwith water immediately. Do not allow brakefluid to come into contact with the eyes or tobe ingested and ensure that fluid is safelystored away form the reach of children.
