CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

CHK ADJ

CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE FLUID LEVEL

1.Place the machine on a level surface.

NOTE:

When checking the front brake fluid level, make sure that the top of the master cylinder top is horizontal.

2.Check:

●Brake fluid level

Fluid level is under “LOWER” level line 1 → Fill up.

Recommended brake fluid:

DOT 4

CAUTION:

Brake fluid may erode painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately.

WARNING

●Use only the designed quality brake fluid: otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance.

●Refill with the same type of brake fluid; mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor performance.

●Be careful that water does not enter the master cylinder when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in a vapor lock.
