WARNING:Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been
previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal
injury.
WARNING:Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. For
additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:Do not allow the brake master cylinder to run dry during the bleeding operation. Master cylinder may be damaged if operated without fluid,
resulting in degraded braking performance. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic
surface, immediately wash the surface with water.
NOTE:When the brake master cylinder has been installed new or the system has been emptied or partially emptied, it must be primed to prevent air from
entering the system.
