Brake Fluid

Brake Fluid Level Inspection

• Refer to the Brake Fluid Level Inspection in the Periodic
Maintenance chapter.

• Refer to the Brake Fluid Change in the Periodic Mainte­
nance chapter.

Bleeding the Brake Line

• Refer to the Bleeding the Brake Line in the Periodic Main­

When working with the disc brake, observe the pre­cautions listed below.

Never reuse old brake fluid.

Do not use fluid from a container that has been left unsealed or that has been open for a long time.

Do not mix two types and brands 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 parts to deteriorate.

Don’t leave the reservoir cap off for any length of time to avoid moisture contamination of the fluid.

Don’t change the fluid in the rain or when a strong wind is blowing.

Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for cleaning of brake parts. Do not use any other fluid for cleaning of these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or any other petroleum distillate will cause deteriora­tion of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part will be difficult to wash off completely and will eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc brake.

When handling the disc pads or disc, be careful that no disc brake fluid or any oil gets on them. Clean off any fluid or oil that inadvertently gets on the pads or disc with a high flash-point solvent. Do not use one which will leave an oily residue. Replace the pads with new ones if they cannot be cleaned satisfacto­rily.

Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any spilled fluid should be completely wiped up imme­diately.

If any of the brake line fittings or the bleed valve is opened at any time, the AIR MUST BE BLED FROM THE BRAKE.
