Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
Master Cylinder Description
The reservoir and cap are made of plastic. The cap screws onto the top of the reservoir. Brake lining wear will cause the fluid level in the master
cylinder reservoir to drop from the MAX to the MIN mark. Fluid should not be below the MIN mark or above the MAX mark. Brake fluid should not
need to be added. Lining replacement will raise the brake fluid level. This ensures adequate reserve brake fluid and prevents air from entering the
hydraulic system. Do not over fill the reservoir. An over filled reservoir will not allow the needed brake fluid expansion caused by heat absorbed from
the brakes and the engine.
