Therefore, always follow these pre-ventive measures:• Never disassemble brake components un-less absolutely necessary.• If any connection on the hydraulic brakesystem is disconnected, the entire brakesystem must be disassembled, drained,cleaned, properly filled, and bled after reas-sembly.• Never use solvents on internal brake com-ponents.• Use only clean or new brake fluid for clean-ing brake components.• Brake fluid may damage painted surfacesand plastic parts. Therefore, always cleanup any spilt brake fluid immediately.• Avoid brake fluid coming into contact withthe eyes as it can cause serious injury.FIRST AID FOR BRAKE FLUID ENTERINGTHE EYES:• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get im-mediate medical attention.EAS30184CHECKING THE REAR BRAKE DISC1.
