Technician Safety Information

BRAKE FLUID SAFETY
^ Do not allow brake fluid to come into contact with eyes or skin.

^ Brake fluid can damage paintwork, if spilled wash off immediately with plenty of clean water.

BRAKE SYSTEM SAFETY
^ Thoroughly clean all brake calipers, pipes and fittings before commencing work on any part of the brake system. Failure to do so could cause foreign matter to enter the system and cause damage to seals and pistons which will seriously impair the efficiency of the brake system.

^ To ensure the brake system efficiency is not impaired the following warnings must be adhered to:
- DO NOT use any petroleum based cleaning fluids or any proprietary fluids containing gasoline.
- DO NOT use brake fluid previously bled from the system.
- DO NOT flush the brake system with any fluid other than the recommended brake fluid.

^ The brake system should be drained and flushed at the recommended service intervals.

^ Cover all electrical terminals carefully to make absolutely certain that no fluid enters the terminals and plugs.

DRIVING SAFETY
^ ABS is an aid to retaining steering control and stability while braking. ABS cannot defy the natural laws of physics acting on the vehicle. ABS will not prevent accidents resulting from excessive cornering speeds, following another vehicle too closely or aquaplaning, i.e. where a layer of water prevents adequate contact between tire and road surface.

^ The additional control provided by ABS must never be exploited in a dangerous or reckless manner which could jeopardize the safety of driver or other road users.

^ The installation of ABS does not imply that the vehicle will always stop in a shorter stopping distance.
