CAUTION:
• All hoses and piping (tubes) must be fr ee from excessive bending, twisting and pulling.
• Make sure there is no interference with other pa rts when turning steering both clockwise and coun-
terclockwise.
• 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 may 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.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• After installation of the ABS actuator and electri c unit (control unit), refill brake system with new
brake fluid. Then bleed the ai r from the system. Refer to BR-14, "Bleeding Brake System"
.
