Removing Brake Fluid Reservoir

WARNING: Danger of injury and damage from brake fluid!

Poisonous if swallowed!
Irritation and damage to skin
Avoid contact with paint surfaces
→ Store brake fluid in suitable, labelled containers only

→ Wear protective gloves and goggles

→ In the event of contact (eyes or skin), wash immediately with water

→ In the event of contact with paint surfaces, wash off immediately with water - do not wipe off

Information

When carrying out work during which fluids can escape, leave electric plug connections to be disconnected locked and connected for as long as possible. This prevents fluid from getting onto electric contacts and causing corrosion.

Information

Brake fluid - even thinned brake fluid - causes corrosion on electric contacts, thereby impairing functions.

Information

Any escaping brake fluid must be removed immediately. If necessary, rinse contacts with water and dry them.

Drain the brake fluid reservoir.
