Brake and Clutch Fluid

Check the fluid level in the reser-

voirs monthly. There are up to two

reservoirs, depending on the model.

They are:

Brake fluid reservoir (all models)

Clutch fluid reservoir

(manual transmission only)

The brake fluid should be replaced

according to the time and distance

recommendations in the mainte-

nance schedule.

Always use Honda Heavy Duty

Brake Fluid DOT 3. If it is not

available, you should use only DOT 3

or DOT 4 fluid, from a sealed

container, as a temporary

replacement. However, the use of

any non-Honda brake fluid can cause

corrosion and decrease the life of the

system. Have the brake system

flushed and refilled with Honda

Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 3 as

soon as possible.

Brake fluid marked DOT 5 is not

compatible with your vehicle's

braking system and can cause

extensive damage.

Brake System

The fluid level should be between

the MIN and MAX marks on the side

of the reservoir. If the level is at or

below the MIN mark, your brake

system needs attention. Have the

brake system inspected for leaks or

worn brake pads.
