4. Fill:
- Brake fluid reservoir (with the specified amount of the recommended brake fluid)
Recommended fluid DOT 4.
Warning:
- Use only the designated brake fluid. Other brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance.
- Refill with the same type of brake fluid that is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction, leading to poor brake performance.
- When refilling, be careful that water does not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
Notice: Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
5. Bleed:
- Brake system Refer to "Bleeding the hydraulic brake system".
6. Check:
- Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark "a" → Add the recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
Refer to "Checking the brake fluid level".
7. Check:
