      NOTE:
      • The master cylinder and piston are designed so that the piston can easily fall out. Prevent this by making sure the tip of the master cylinder points downward when handling the master cylinder.
      • Make sure foreign matter does not adhere to the piston of the master cylinder. If foreign matter adheres, clean it off with a cloth. Then apply lithium soap base glycol grease to the entire outer circumference contact surface area of the piston.
