  • Brake fluid corrodes and therefore should not get on varnish surfaces, if necessary at once erase and wash away a large amount of water.
  • Brake fluid is hygroscopic, it means, it absorbs moisture from air. Therefore brake fluid has to be stored in the closed vessel.
  • Brake fluid which was already used in system the second time should not be filled in. Also when pumping to add only fresh brake fluid.
  • Specification of brake fluid: FMVSS 116 DOT 3 or SAE J1703.
