With Pressure Bleeder


WARNING:
^ Brake Fluid is poisonous
^ It must never be extracted using suction by mouth either directly or through a hose
^ If brake fluid makes contact with skin or eyes, flush or wash adequately to prevent irritation, then seek medical attention if necessary.


CAUTION:
^ Use only fresh brake fluid conforming ti U.S. standard FMVSS 116 DOT 4.
^ Brake fluid is caustic and corrosive, it must not be allowed to come in contact with any painted surfaces.
^ Brake fluid is hydroscopic, in other words, it absorbs moisture from the surrounding air and should therefore always be kept in airtight containers.
^ Do not allow brake fluid to become contaminated with mineral oil (oil, fuel or cleaning fluids). Mineral Oil can damage the sealing components of the brake system.
^ Brake fluid must be disposed of properly.
