Technician Safety Information


CAUTION: Use only SUPREME 11 or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid from a clean, sealed container. Do not use fluid from an open container that may be contaminated with water. Improper or contaminated fluid could result in damage to components, or loss of braking, with possible personal injury.

Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:
^ Eye contact - rinse thoroughly with water.
^ Skin contact - wash with soap and water.

^ Do not use power steering or transmission fluid in the brake system.
^ Do not re-use brake fluid accumulated during brake system bleeding.
^ Always store brake fluid in a closed container. Re-seal brake fluid containers immediately after use. Do not use brake fluid left in an open or improperly sealed container, because it absorbs moisture, or can become contaminated.
^ Avoid spilling brake fluid on any of the vehicle's painted surfaces, wiring cables or electrical connectors. Brake fluid will damage paint and electrical connections. If any fluid is spilled on the vehicle, flush the area with water to minimize the potential damage.
