Avoid long exposure of brake fluid to air. Brake
fluid is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture
from the air. Keep the brake fluid reservoir open
JUST LONG ENOUGH to top up level.

(LUBRICANT CHART), until bringing level between the
MIN" and "MAX" marks.
WARNING
Never exceed the “MAX” level.
It is advisable to top up until reaching the
"MAX" level only with new pads.
When the disc pads wear out, the level of the
fluid decreases progressively to compensate
for their wear.
Do not reach the "MAX" level with worn out
pads, since this will cause a fluid outflow when
the pads are changed.
