Prepare for brake fluid outflow,  to  prevent
damage to the mechanical parts and bodywork
around the braking system.

101709

WARNING

Do not twist the brake hose, and straighten the
wheels as steering lock makes it easier for the
unit to become twisted.

Make sure that there is no contact between the
brake hose and the surrounding components.

Note:

The hoses supplied as spare parts are encased
in a spring to prevent them from being twisted
during fitting.
