Brake Fluid
WARNING
After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always
discard any unused portion. Never store or use a partial bottle. Brake
fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the
air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid
to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of
accident or serious injury.
Keep the master cylinder cover free of dirt and debris. The vent slits allow for diaphragm movement, and if they become plugged, movement of brake fluid below the diaphragm may be restricted, altering brake function.

View the brake fluid level through the sight glass on the top of the master cylinder. The eye will appear dark when the fluid level is full. If the sight glass is any color other than black, add brake fluid.
Maintain the brake fluid level between the MIN and MAX marks on the master cylinder reservoir.
Replace brake fluid at least every two years.
NOTICE
Brake fluid will damage labels, paint, and some
plastics. Always wipe up spills immediately.
