components may occur if dusts are created during repair of friction components, such as brake pads and clutch discs. Exposure may also cause
irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause allergic reactions and/or may lead to other chronic health effects. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention or advice. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Make sure that the parking brake control is fully released.
