NOTE: When adding fluid to the brake master cylinder reservoir, use only Delco Supreme 11®, GM P/N 12377967 (Canadian P/N 992667), or equivalent DOT-3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container. The use of any type of fluid other than the recommended type of brake fluid, may cause contamination which could result in damage to the internal rubber seals and/or rubber linings of hydraulic brake system components.

NOTE: Do Not allow the HBCi pump and motor to run more than 1 minute continuously. Allow 2 minutes cool down time between pump run times. Extended pump and motor run time could create excessive heat, and damage the pump and motor assembly.
