SERVICE INFORMATION
PRECAUTIONS
Service Notice or Precaution INFOID:0000000005447936
• Recommended clutch fluid is brake fluid “DOT 3”. Refer to MA-25, "Fluids and Lubricants".
• Do not reuse drained clutch fluid.
• Be careful not to splash clutch fluid on painted areas.
• Use a flare nut wrench, when removing and installing clutch piping.
• Use new clutch fluid to clean or wash all parts of master cylinder
and operating cylinder.
• Do not use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will cor-
rode the rubber parts of the hydraulic system.
WARNING:
After cleaning clutch disc, clean it with a dust collector. Do not
use compressed air.
