BRAKE FLUID
| CAUTION | Brake fluid is hygroscopic, i.e. it has the capability to absorb water and moisture from the air. |
If water has been absorbed, the boiling point will drop, i.e., during high braking temperatures the brake fluid may develop steam bubbles and result in decreased brake performance.
Scheme 1
Over time, brake fluid will darken in color. This is a normal chemical reaction and does not reflect on their quality.
| WARNING | The rubber components of the brake system (boots, seals) do not tolerate mineral oil, gasoline, and cleaning agents! Small amounts on the protective boot or sealing ring leads to a change in the parts and affects brake function. |
