Principles of Operation: Notes
WARNING:
Use of any other than approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid will cause permanent damage to brake components and will render the brakes inoperative. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If brake fluid contacts eyes, flush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally, drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
CAUTION:
Blistering or swelling of rubber brake components may indicate contamination of the brake fluid by a petroleum based substance. New rubber components must be installed in the hydraulic system if contaminated and the entire hydraulic brake system must be flushed with clean brake fluid to prevent recontamination.
CAUTION:
Never use copper tubing. It is subject to fatigue, cracking and corrosion, which could result in brake tube failure.
