Filling The Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir
Notice: Do not use fluid that has a petroleum base. Do not use a container that
has been used for petroleum based fluids or is wet with water. Petroleum-based
fluids cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in the hydraulic brake
system and water lowers the brake fluid's boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.
- Thoroughly clean the master
cylinder reservoir cover before removal. This prevents dirt from entering
the reservoir.
- Remove the brake master cylinder cover and diaphragm.
- Add brake fluid in order to fill the reservoir to the full mark.
The full mark is located inside the brake master cylinder reservoir. Use the
correct fluid. Refer to
Fluid and Lubricant Recommendations
in Maintenance and Lubrication.
