CAUTION!
* Use only brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer (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 boil-
ing point and could cause the brake to be
ineffective. It may also cause the rubber
brake part to deteriorate.
