ponents should be cleaned and lubricated

• Never use solvents on internal brake
components as they will cause the brake
caliper piston dust seal and brake caliper
piston seal to swell and distort.
• Whenever a brake caliper is disassem-
bled, replace the brake caliper piston dust
seal and brake caliper piston seal.

DOT 4
EWA4B51011
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 perfor-
mance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake master cylinder reser-
voir. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the brake fluid and could
cause vapor lock.

Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
