q
WA RNING Risk of an accident due to
va por poc ke ts fo rm ing in th e brake sys‐
te m
The brake fl uid cons ta ntly absorbs moi st ure
from th e air. This lo we rs th e boiling point of
th e brake fl uid. If th e boiling point is to o lo w,
va por poc ke ts may fo rm in th e brake sy st em
when th e brakes are applied hard.
This causes th e braking ef fe ct to be
impaired.
