Master Cylinder/Brake Fluid

Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as fluid level drops. If the

fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm

should be replaced. Always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or

removed to ensure proper diaphragm operation. Do not overfill.

WARNING

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could result in serious

injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

WARNING

Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly

absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to

drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of accident or severe injury. After

opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.
