CAUTION:
^
Carefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder.
^
Use new "DOT 3" brake fluid.
^
Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on paint areas, wash it away with water
immediately.

Fluid Pressure Specifications
INSPECTION
1. Remove front LH tire and connect brake fluid pressure gauge to air bleeders of front LH brake caliper and rear brakes on either LH and RH side.
2. Install LH front tire and ensure that gauge tool is not touching tire. Bleed air from the brake fluid pressure gauge.
3. Check fluid pressure by depressing brake pedal. If output pressure is out of specifications, replace master cylinder (built-in type) as an assembly.
4. Bleed air from the hydraulic system after disconnecting the brake fluid pressure gauge.
