CHASSIS 8-63  * This brake system is filled with an ethylene glycol-based DOT 4 brake fluid. Do not use mix different types of fluid such as silicone-based or petroleum-based. * Do not use any brake fluid taken from old, used or unsealed containers. Never reuse brake fluid left over from the last servicing or stored for long periods. * When storing the brake fluid, seal the container completely and keep away from children. * When replenishing brake fluid, take care not to get dust into fluid. * When washing brake components, use fresh brake fluid. Never use cleaning solvent. * A contaminated brake disc or brake pad reduces braking performance. Discard contaminated pads and clean the disc with high quality brake cleaner or neutral detergent.  Handle brake fluid with care: The fluid reacts chemically with paint, plastics, rubber materials etc. and will damage then severely. BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT • Loosen the pad mounting pins 1. • Remove the brake caliper by removing the caliper mounting E bolts 2. • Remove the pad mounting pins 1, brake pads and spring. L  P * Do not operate the brake lever with the pads removed. M * Replace the brake pads as a set, otherwise braking A performance will be adversely affected. NOTE: S * When the brake caliper is removed, care must be used so as not to cause stress to the brake hose. (Hang the brake caliper on the frame with a string, etc.) * When removing the pad spring, push the piston all the way into the brake caliper. • Inspect the pad mounting pins for bent or damage. If any defects are found, replace the pad mounting pins with the new ones.
