A: PROCEDURE
CAUTION:
•Do not let brake fluid come into contact with
the painted surface of the vehicle body. Wash
away with water immediately and wipe off if it is
spilled by accident.
•Avoid mixing brake fluids of different brands
to prevent fluid performance from degrading.
•Be careful not to allow dirt or dust to enter the
reservoir tank.
1. MASTER CYLINDER
NOTE:
•When the master cylinder is disassembled or the
reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder.
•If bleeding of the master cylinder is not neces-
sary, omit the following procedures, and perform
bleeding of the brake line. LINE, PROCEDURE, Air Bleeding.>
1) Fill the reservoir tank of the master cylinder with
brake fluid.
NOTE:
While bleeding air, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to prevent entry of air.
2) Disconnect the brake line at primary and sec-
ondary sides.
3) Wrap the master cylinder with a plastic bag.
4) Depress the brake pedal slowly and hold it.
5) Plug the outlet plug with your finger, and then re-
lease the brake pedal.

2. BRAKE LINE
1) When the master cylinder is disassembled or the
reservoir tank is empty, bleed the master cylinder
before bleeding the brake line. MASTER CYLINDER, PROCEDURE, Air Bleed-
ing.>
2) Fill the reservoir tank of the master cylinder with
brake fluid.
NOTE:
While bleeding air, keep the reservoir tank filled
with brake fluid to prevent entry of air.
