1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Hydraulic fluid is toxic and can therefore have a
damaging effect on your health.
Hence avoid any direct or indirect physical
contact.
As hydraulic fluid is also a corrosive fluid, it may
damage the paintwork of the vehicle. Avoid any
contact between hydraulic fluid and paintwork.

Always use new and clean hydraulic fluid which
has been kept in a sealed container and
complies with the specifications.
Hydraulic fluid which has absorbed water (from
the ambient air) may have an adverse effect on
the operation of the clutch system.
Avoid any contact with mineral oil. Even one
drop of mineral oil in the system will damage the
seals.
