WARNING
If you need to disassemble the disc brake
components, observe the following precau-
tions.
• Never disassemble the brake components
unless absolutely necessary.
• If there is any problem with connections
on the hydraulic brake system, perform
the following jobs.
Disassemble the brake system, drain the
brake fluid, and clean it. After that, add a
suitable amount of brake fluid. Then, bleed
it after reassembly.
• Use only brake fluid for washing brake
components.
• Use new brake fluid for cleaning the brake
components.
• Immediately wipe off the spilled brake fluid
to avoid damage to painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
• Handle brake fluid with special care not to
let it enter your eyes so that you may not
lost your eyesight.
• FIRST AID FOR BRAKE FLUID ENTERING
THE EYES:
• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
immediate medical attention.

WARNING
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake flu-
ids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion, leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor
lock.

NOTICE
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
