brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally,
drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder reservoir
filled with the specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it
with water.
Note: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or replacement, air may get in to the system and cause spongy
brake pedal action. This requires the bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been properly connected. The hydraulic system can be bled
manually or with Brake Bleeder.
