FLUID CHANGE
The brake fluid should be checked and changed in accordance
with the Periodic Maintenance Char t or whenever it is
contaminated with dirt or water. Don't change the fluid in the rain
or when a strong wind is blowing.
CAUTION!
* Use only brake fluid from a sealed container (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 contamination 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
ineffective. It may also cause the rubber brake par t 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) and the rubber.
- Loosen bleeding valve on the brake caliper.
- Pump with brake lever (3) or brake pedal (3A) in order to
push brake fluid out of line.
- Close the bleeding valve and fill the reservoir with fresh brake
fluid.
- Open the bleeding valve, apply the brake using the brake
lever or pedal, close the bleeding valve with the brake lever or
pedal applied and then quickly release the lever or pedal.
- Repeat this operation until the brake line is filled and clear
fluid starts coming out of the plastic hose: now close the
bleeding valve.
- Restore the brake fluid level (A) or (B) then reassemble the
rubber and the fluid reservoir cap.
After the brake fluid replacement, it is necessary to operate the
braking system bleeding (see pages L.12, L.15).
WARNING!
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid
should be completely wiped up immediately.
* Brake fluid may cause irritation. Avoid contact with skin or
eyes. In case of contact, flush thoroughly and call a doctor if your
eyes were exposed.
