Caution: Do not overfill the brake fluid reservoir. Overfilling the brake fluid
reservoir may cause the brake fluid to overflow onto the engine exhaust components
during brake system service. The brake fluid is flammable and
may cause a fire and personal injury if the brake fluid contacts the engine
exhaust system components.
Caution: Use only SUPREME 11 or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed
container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated
with water. Improper or contaminated fluid will result in damage to components
or loss of braking, with possible personal injury.

the master cylinder will warn of a low fluid level. |
• | Clean the reservoir cap before removal in order to avoid getting
dirt in the reservoir. |
