FLUID CHANGE
The brake fluid should be checked and changed in
accordance with the Periodic Maintenance Chart or
whenever it is contaminated with dirt or water.
CAUTION*:
* Use only brake fluid from a sealed contain-
er (DOT 4). Never use old brake fluid.
* Never allow contaminants (dirt, water,
etc.) to enter the brake fluid reservoir.
* Don't leave the reservoir cap off any
length of time to avoid moisture contami-
nation of the fluid.
* Handle brake fluid with care because it
can damage paint.
* Don't mix two types of fluid for use in the
brake. This lowers the brake fluid boiling
point and could cause the brake to be inef-
fective. It may also cause the rubber brake
part to deteriorate.
To replace the fluid, proceed as follows:
- Remove the rubber cap on the bleeding valve (1)
or (1A).
- Attach a clear plastic hose to the bleeding valve
on the brake caliper and turn the other end of
the hose into a container.
- Remove fluid reservoir cap (2)or (2A: 21 mm
wrench) and the rubber.
- Loosen bleeding valve on the brake caliper.
