Technician Safety Information

WARNING:

Friction materials such as brake and clutch linings or brake pads may contain asbestos fibers. Do not create dust by grinding, sanding or by cleaning with compressed air.

Avoid breathing asbestos fibers and asbestos dust. Breathing asbestos may result in serious diseases such as asbestosis or cancer, or cause severe injury and death.

Brake fluid is poisonous. Do NOT siphon by mouth.

CAUTION:

Brake fluid must not come in contact with paint.

Brake fluid absorbs moisture from air and must be replaced every 2 years.

Only use new DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid according to SAE recommendation J 1703 and conforming to MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD 116.

DO NOT add or mix DOT 5 silicone type brake fluid with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Severe component corrosion may result and could lead to brake system failure.
