BRAKE LINE PRECAUTION

Note

• Since the brake lines are classified as critical safety related parts, be sure to disassemble and inspect the components if a brake fluid leak is found. If any abnormality is found, replace the component with a new one.

• When removing brake components, cover the brake line connections to prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the lines.

• Do not damage or deform the brake lines when removing or installing them.

• When installing a grommet to the body, ensure that the brake line passes through the center of the grommet.

• When installing a brake line or flexible hose, ensure that they are free from twists or bends.

• If the cap of a flexible hose does not match the groove on the bracket, twist the hose slightly to insert it.

• Flexible hoses must be free from shock absorber oil, grease, etc.

• When installing a brake line to a plastic clamp, ensure that the brake line is not loose or pinched.

• Do not reuse any clips or plastic clamps removed from a flexible hose.

• After installing a brake line or flexible hose, ensure that they do not interfere with any other components.
