5.6 REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF THE MASTER CYLINDER
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.
