Safety Precautions
WARNING: Failure to follow these precautions can result in serious injury or death.
•
Read and understand the Operation Manual completely before operating this unit.
•
Always wear proper eye and skin protection when operating and maintaining this
equipment.
•
Only disassemble or reassemble unit parts when directed by an RTI representative.
•
Clean any spills that may occur immediately. Brake fluid is corrosive and is a high slip
hazard.
•
Avoid exposure with painted surfaces. Brake fluid is corrosive and will damage the
finish on most painted surfaces. Use of fender covers is recommended.
•
Always use vehicle specified brake fluid. Failure to do so may cause brake system damage. The
BFX is designed to use DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid. Use of any other fluid type is not recommended
and may void warranty.
•
Comply with local, state and federal regulations for fluid disposal.
•
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be obtained on all chemicals and placed in a shop
file for reference. Note: MSDS can be found on the RTI web site www.rtitech.com.
•
It is important to test drive every vehicle after the service to verify proper brake system
operation. Failure to do so could result in undetected brake system failure.
CAUTION:
Failure to follow the precautions as outlined in the Operation Manual can result in
damage to the engine, vehicle or equipment which will not be supported or covered
under warranty.
