Removal Procedure
Notice: Any new rotor must have the protective coating removed from the friction surfaces before being placed in service. Remove the protective
coating using denatured alcohol or an equivalent, and wipe the surface clean with clean cloths. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or other oil base
solvents which may leave an oily residue. This residue is damaging to the brake lining and is flammable.

2. If the fluid level is midway between the maximum - full point, and the minimum allowable level, no fluid needs to be removed from the reservoir
before proceeding.
3. If the fluid level is higher than midway between the maximum - full point, and the minimum allowable level, remove fluid to the midway point
before proceeding.
