Checking Brake Fluid
You can check the brake fluid without taking off the cap.
What to
Add
When you do need brake fluid, use only
DOT-3
brake
fluid. Use new brake fluid from a sealed container
only. See Part
D:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on
page
6-
17.
Always clean the brake fluid reservoir cap and the area
around the cap before removing it. This will help keep
dirt from entering the reservoir.
I
With the wrong kina
of
fluid in your brake
system, your brakes may not work well, or they
may not even work at all. This could cause
a
crash. Always use the proper brake fluid.
Just look at the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid level
should be above MIN. If it isn’t have your brake system
checked to see
if
there is a leak.
After work is done on the brake hydraulic system,
make sure the level
is
above the
MIN
but not over the
MAX mark.
