Loosen the fixing screws "B" and lift the plastic cover "A" in order to access the brake
reservoir. Loosen the two fixing screws and remove the reservoir cover; top-up with
the recommended fluid without exceeding the 'MAX.' mark.
This procedure applies to the rear brake pump top-up operation; follow the same pro-
cedure for the front brake pump.
Under normal climatic conditions, the brake fluid should be replaced every 2 years.
This operation must be carried out by trained technicians; please contact your nearest
PIAGGIO dealer or an authorised service centre.

CAUTION
AVOID CONTACT OF BRAKE FLUID WITH EYES, SKIN, AND CLOTHING. IN
CASE OF CONTACT, RINSE WITH WATER. THE BRAKING CIRCUIT FLUID IS
HYGROSCOPIC, THAT IS, IT ABSORBS HUMIDITY FROM THE SURROUNDING
AIR. IF THE HUMIDITY IN THE BRAKING FLUID EXCEEDS A CERTAIN VALUE,
IT WILL LEAD TO INEFFICIENT BRAKING. NEVER USE BRAKING FLUID KEPT
IN CONTAINERS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN OPENED, OR PARTIALLY USED.
