Parts and consumables:

  • Rags (if necessary)
  • Brake fluid (DOT-4 type)

Note:

The supply of working (brake) fluid for the hydraulic drives of the brakes and clutch is located in a reservoir located on the main brake cylinder.
To control the liquid level in the tank, a sensor is installed (MIN and MAX label). If there is no fluid leakage from the system, then its level in the reservoir decreases, mainly as a result of wear, linings, brake pads of the wheels.

WARNING:

Take precautions when handling brake fluid: it is toxic. Contact with brake fluid on wires, plastic or painted parts of the body can cause damage. If liquid comes into contact with these parts, wipe them off immediately with a clean cloth.

1.  MIN and MAX marks are made on the tank, between which the level of the working fluid must be.

Note:

Do not allow the liquid level to drop below the MIN mark.

2.  To add liquid to the reservoir, turn the reservoir cap counterclockwise and remove the cap from the reservoir.

WARNING:

A gradual drop in the brake fluid level with no leaks most likely indicates the need to replace the brake pads. Check the condition of the brake pads. Untimely replacement of pads leads to expensive repairs (replacement of brake discs and calipers)! Pay special attention to the condition of the clutch master and slave cylinders. They can also cause a decrease in the level of brake fluid in the reservoir.
