WARNING
Clean brake system components using denatured alco-
hol. Do not use mineral-base cleaning solvents, such as
gasoline or paint thinner. Use of mineral-base solvents
causes deterioration of rubber parts that continues after
assembly. This may result in improper brake operation
which could result in death or serious injury.
1.
Clean all parts with denatured alcohol or D.O.T. 4
BRAKE FLUID. Do not contaminate with mineral oil or
other solvents. Wipe dry with a clean, lint free cloth. Blow
out drilled passages and bore with a clean air supply. Do
not use a wire or similar instrument to clean drilled pas-
sages in bottom of reservoir.
2.
Inspect piston bore in master cylinder housing for scor-
ing, pitting or corrosion. Replace housing if any of these
conditions are found.
3.
Inspect outlet port that mates with brake line fitting. As a
critical sealing surface, replace housing if any scratches,
dents or other damage is noted.
