CHECKING THE CLUTCH FLUID LEVEL/
BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC CLUTCH SYSTEM
WARNING
@
Use only the designated clutch fluid.
Other clutch fluids may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor clutch performance.
Refill with the same type of clutch fluid
that is already in the system. Mixing
clutch fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction, leading to poor clutch
performance.
When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the clutch fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the clutch fluid and could cause vapor
lock.
CAUTION:
@
Clutch fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt clutch fluid immediately.
NOTE:
@
In order to ensure a correct reading of the
clutch fluid level, make sure the top of the res-
ervoir is horizontal.
