CAUTION: Use only clean DOT 4 brake fluid. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed to contaminate the brake fluid.
Do not mix different brands of brake fluid as they may not be compatible.
Do not spill brake fluid on the car; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid does contact the paint, wash it off immediately with water.

Note: The reservoir on the master cylinder must be full at the start of bleeding procedure, and checked after bleeding each brake caliper. Add fluid as required. Use only clean DOT 4 brake fluid.
